When you ask "What number is halfway between 56 and 503?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=56 and Y=503.

To find the number halfway between 56 and 503, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 56 and 503 into our formula, we get:
(56 + 503)/2 = 279.5
Thus, the number halfway between 56 and 503 is 279.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 56 from 279.5 and subtract 279.5 from 503 and compare the two numbers:
279.5 - 56 = 223.5
503 - 279.5 = 223.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 223.5 higher than 56 and 223.5 lower than 503. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279.5 above is correct.
