Halfway Between 40 and 493

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 493?" 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=493.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 493, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 493 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 493)/2 = 266.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 493 is 266.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 266.5 and subtract 266.5 from 493 and compare the two numbers:

266.5 - 40 = 226.5
493 - 266.5 = 226.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 226.5 higher than 40 and 226.5 lower than 493. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 266.5 above is correct.
