Halfway Between 4 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 72?" 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=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 72)/2 = 38

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 72 is 38.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 38 and subtract 38 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

38 - 4 = 34
72 - 38 = 34

As you can see, the halfway number is 34 higher than 4 and 34 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 38 above is correct.
