Halfway Between 40 and 497

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 497?" 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=497.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 497, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 497 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 497)/2 = 268.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 497 is 268.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 268.5 and subtract 268.5 from 497 and compare the two numbers:

268.5 - 40 = 228.5
497 - 268.5 = 228.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 228.5 higher than 40 and 228.5 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 268.5 above is correct.
