Halfway Between 21 and 540

When you ask "What number is halfway between 21 and 540?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=21 and Y=540.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 21 and 540, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 21 and 540 into our formula, we get:

(21 + 540)/2 = 280.5

Thus, the number halfway between 21 and 540 is 280.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 21 from 280.5 and subtract 280.5 from 540 and compare the two numbers:

280.5 - 21 = 259.5
540 - 280.5 = 259.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 259.5 higher than 21 and 259.5 lower than 540. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 280.5 above is correct.
