Halfway Between 40 and 498

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 498?" 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=498.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 498, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 498 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 498)/2 = 269

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 498 is 269.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 269 and subtract 269 from 498 and compare the two numbers:

269 - 40 = 229
498 - 269 = 229

As you can see, the halfway number is 229 higher than 40 and 229 lower than 498. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 269 above is correct.
