When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 166?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=72 and Y=166.

To find the number halfway between 72 and 166, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 166 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 166)/2 = 119
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 166 is 119.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 119 and subtract 119 from 166 and compare the two numbers:
119 - 72 = 47
166 - 119 = 47
As you can see, the halfway number is 47 higher than 72 and 47 lower than 166. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 119 above is correct.
