Halfway Between 40 and 256

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 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=40 and Y=256.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 256, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 256 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 256)/2 = 148

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 256 is 148.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 148 and subtract 148 from 256 and compare the two numbers:

148 - 40 = 108
256 - 148 = 108

As you can see, the halfway number is 108 higher than 40 and 108 lower than 256. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 148 above is correct.
