Halfway Between 72 and 280

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 280?" 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=280.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 280, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 280 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 280)/2 = 176

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 280 is 176.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 176 and subtract 176 from 280 and compare the two numbers:

176 - 72 = 104
280 - 176 = 104

As you can see, the halfway number is 104 higher than 72 and 104 lower than 280. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 176 above is correct.
