When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 996?" 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=996.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 996, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 996 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 996)/2 = 519
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 996 is 519.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 519 and subtract 519 from 996 and compare the two numbers:
519 - 42 = 477
996 - 519 = 477
As you can see, the halfway number is 477 higher than 42 and 477 lower than 996. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 519 above is correct.
