Halfway Between 26 and 87

When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 and 87?" 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=87.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 26 and 87, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 26 and 87 into our formula, we get:

(26 + 87)/2 = 56.5

Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 87 is 56.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 56.5 and subtract 56.5 from 87 and compare the two numbers:

56.5 - 26 = 30.5
87 - 56.5 = 30.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 30.5 higher than 26 and 30.5 lower than 87. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 56.5 above is correct.
