Halfway Between 2 and 998

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 998?" 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=998.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 998, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 998 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 998)/2 = 500

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 998 is 500.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 500 and subtract 500 from 998 and compare the two numbers:

500 - 2 = 498
998 - 500 = 498

As you can see, the halfway number is 498 higher than 2 and 498 lower than 998. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 500 above is correct.
