Halfway Between 6 and 971

When you ask "What number is halfway between 6 and 971?" 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=971.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 6 and 971, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 6 and 971 into our formula, we get:

(6 + 971)/2 = 488.5

Thus, the number halfway between 6 and 971 is 488.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 6 from 488.5 and subtract 488.5 from 971 and compare the two numbers:

488.5 - 6 = 482.5
971 - 488.5 = 482.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 482.5 higher than 6 and 482.5 lower than 971. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 488.5 above is correct.
