Halfway Between 4 and 256

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 256?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=4 and Y=256.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 256, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 256 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 256)/2 = 130

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 256 is 130.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 130 and subtract 130 from 256 and compare the two numbers:

130 - 4 = 126
256 - 130 = 126

As you can see, the halfway number is 126 higher than 4 and 126 lower than 256. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 130 above is correct.
