Halfway Between 42 and 740

When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 740?" 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=740.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 42 and 740, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 42 and 740 into our formula, we get:

(42 + 740)/2 = 391

Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 740 is 391.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 391 and subtract 391 from 740 and compare the two numbers:

391 - 42 = 349
740 - 391 = 349

As you can see, the halfway number is 349 higher than 42 and 349 lower than 740. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 391 above is correct.
