Halfway Between 2 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 72?" 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=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 72)/2 = 37

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 72 is 37.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 37 and subtract 37 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

37 - 2 = 35
72 - 37 = 35

As you can see, the halfway number is 35 higher than 2 and 35 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 37 above is correct.
