Halfway Between 72 and 197

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 197?" 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=197.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 197, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 197 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 197)/2 = 134.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 197 is 134.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 134.5 and subtract 134.5 from 197 and compare the two numbers:

134.5 - 72 = 62.5
197 - 134.5 = 62.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 62.5 higher than 72 and 62.5 lower than 197. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 134.5 above is correct.
