When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 and 872?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=3 and Y=872.
To find the number halfway between 3 and 872, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 3 and 872 into our formula, we get:
(3 + 872)/2 = 437.5
Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 872 is 437.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 437.5 and subtract 437.5 from 872 and compare the two numbers:
437.5 - 3 = 434.5
872 - 437.5 = 434.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 434.5 higher than 3 and 434.5 lower than 872. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 437.5 above is correct.
