Halfway Between 40 and 472

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 472?" 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=472.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 472, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 472 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 472)/2 = 256

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 472 is 256.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 256 and subtract 256 from 472 and compare the two numbers:

256 - 40 = 216
472 - 256 = 216

As you can see, the halfway number is 216 higher than 40 and 216 lower than 472. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256 above is correct.
