Halfway Between 42 and 470

When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 470?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=42 and Y=470.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 42 and 470, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 42 and 470 into our formula, we get:

(42 + 470)/2 = 256

Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 470 is 256.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 256 and subtract 256 from 470 and compare the two numbers:

256 - 42 = 214
470 - 256 = 214

As you can see, the halfway number is 214 higher than 42 and 214 lower than 470. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256 above is correct.
