Halfway Between 40 and 242

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 242?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=40 and Y=242.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 242, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 242 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 242)/2 = 141

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 242 is 141.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 141 and subtract 141 from 242 and compare the two numbers:

141 - 40 = 101
242 - 141 = 101

As you can see, the halfway number is 101 higher than 40 and 101 lower than 242. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 141 above is correct.
