Halfway Between 26 and 486

When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 and 486?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=26 and Y=486.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 26 and 486, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 26 and 486 into our formula, we get:

(26 + 486)/2 = 256

Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 486 is 256.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 256 and subtract 256 from 486 and compare the two numbers:

256 - 26 = 230
486 - 256 = 230

As you can see, the halfway number is 230 higher than 26 and 230 lower than 486. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256 above is correct.
