Halfway Between 4 and 998

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 998?" 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=998.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 998, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 998 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 998)/2 = 501

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 998 is 501.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 501 and subtract 501 from 998 and compare the two numbers:

501 - 4 = 497
998 - 501 = 497

As you can see, the halfway number is 497 higher than 4 and 497 lower than 998. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 501 above is correct.
