Halfway Between 2 and 6

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 6?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=2 and Y=6.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 6, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 6 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 6)/2 = 4

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 6 is 4.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 4 and subtract 4 from 6 and compare the two numbers:

4 - 2 = 2
6 - 4 = 2

As you can see, the halfway number is 2 higher than 2 and 2 lower than 6. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 4 above is correct.
