Halfway Between 26 and 496

When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 and 496?" 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=496.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 26 and 496, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 26 and 496 into our formula, we get:

(26 + 496)/2 = 261

Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 496 is 261.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 261 and subtract 261 from 496 and compare the two numbers:

261 - 26 = 235
496 - 261 = 235

As you can see, the halfway number is 235 higher than 26 and 235 lower than 496. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 261 above is correct.
