Halfway Between 40 and 542

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 542?" 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=542.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 542, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 542 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 542)/2 = 291

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 542 is 291.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 291 and subtract 291 from 542 and compare the two numbers:

291 - 40 = 251
542 - 291 = 251

As you can see, the halfway number is 251 higher than 40 and 251 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 291 above is correct.
