Halfway Between 42 and 478

When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 478?" 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=478.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 42 and 478, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 42 and 478 into our formula, we get:

(42 + 478)/2 = 260

Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 478 is 260.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 260 and subtract 260 from 478 and compare the two numbers:

260 - 42 = 218
478 - 260 = 218

As you can see, the halfway number is 218 higher than 42 and 218 lower than 478. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 260 above is correct.
