When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 494?" 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=494.

To find the number halfway between 40 and 494, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 40 and 494 into our formula, we get:
(40 + 494)/2 = 267
Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 494 is 267.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 267 and subtract 267 from 494 and compare the two numbers:
267 - 40 = 227
494 - 267 = 227
As you can see, the halfway number is 227 higher than 40 and 227 lower than 494. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 267 above is correct.
