Halfway Between 50 and 493

When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 493?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=50 and Y=493.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 50 and 493, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 50 and 493 into our formula, we get:

(50 + 493)/2 = 271.5

Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 493 is 271.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 271.5 and subtract 271.5 from 493 and compare the two numbers:

271.5 - 50 = 221.5
493 - 271.5 = 221.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 221.5 higher than 50 and 221.5 lower than 493. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 271.5 above is correct.
