Halfway Between 40 and 496

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 496?" 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=496.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 496, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 496 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 496)/2 = 268

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 496 is 268.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 268 and subtract 268 from 496 and compare the two numbers:

268 - 40 = 228
496 - 268 = 228

As you can see, the halfway number is 228 higher than 40 and 228 lower than 496. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 268 above is correct.
