When you ask "What number is halfway between 38 and 542?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=38 and Y=542.

To find the number halfway between 38 and 542, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 38 and 542 into our formula, we get:
(38 + 542)/2 = 290
Thus, the number halfway between 38 and 542 is 290.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 38 from 290 and subtract 290 from 542 and compare the two numbers:
290 - 38 = 252
542 - 290 = 252
As you can see, the halfway number is 252 higher than 38 and 252 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 290 above is correct.
