Halfway Between 42 and 998

When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 998?" 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=998.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 42 and 998, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 42 and 998 into our formula, we get:

(42 + 998)/2 = 520

Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 998 is 520.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 520 and subtract 520 from 998 and compare the two numbers:

520 - 42 = 478
998 - 520 = 478

As you can see, the halfway number is 478 higher than 42 and 478 lower than 998. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 520 above is correct.
