When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 898?" 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=898.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 898, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 898 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 898)/2 = 470
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 898 is 470.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 470 and subtract 470 from 898 and compare the two numbers:
470 - 42 = 428
898 - 470 = 428
As you can see, the halfway number is 428 higher than 42 and 428 lower than 898. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 470 above is correct.
