Halfway Between 4 and 493

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 493?" 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=493.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 493, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 493 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 493)/2 = 248.5

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 493 is 248.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 248.5 and subtract 248.5 from 493 and compare the two numbers:

248.5 - 4 = 244.5
493 - 248.5 = 244.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 244.5 higher than 4 and 244.5 lower than 493. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 248.5 above is correct.
