Halfway Between 23 and 26

When you ask "What number is halfway between 23 and 26?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=23 and Y=26.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 23 and 26, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 23 and 26 into our formula, we get:

(23 + 26)/2 = 24.5

Thus, the number halfway between 23 and 26 is 24.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 23 from 24.5 and subtract 24.5 from 26 and compare the two numbers:

24.5 - 23 = 1.5
26 - 24.5 = 1.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 1.5 higher than 23 and 1.5 lower than 26. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 24.5 above is correct.
