Halfway Between 42 and 742

When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 742?" 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=742.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 42 and 742, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 42 and 742 into our formula, we get:

(42 + 742)/2 = 392

Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 742 is 392.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 392 and subtract 392 from 742 and compare the two numbers:

392 - 42 = 350
742 - 392 = 350

As you can see, the halfway number is 350 higher than 42 and 350 lower than 742. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 392 above is correct.
