Halfway Between 6 and 287

When you ask "What number is halfway between 6 and 287?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=6 and Y=287.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 6 and 287, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 6 and 287 into our formula, we get:

(6 + 287)/2 = 146.5

Thus, the number halfway between 6 and 287 is 146.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 6 from 146.5 and subtract 146.5 from 287 and compare the two numbers:

146.5 - 6 = 140.5
287 - 146.5 = 140.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 140.5 higher than 6 and 140.5 lower than 287. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 146.5 above is correct.
