Halfway Between 45 and 242

When you ask "What number is halfway between 45 and 242?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=45 and Y=242.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 45 and 242, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 45 and 242 into our formula, we get:

(45 + 242)/2 = 143.5

Thus, the number halfway between 45 and 242 is 143.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 45 from 143.5 and subtract 143.5 from 242 and compare the two numbers:

143.5 - 45 = 98.5
242 - 143.5 = 98.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 98.5 higher than 45 and 98.5 lower than 242. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 143.5 above is correct.
