Halfway Between 72 and 298

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 298?" 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=298.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 298, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 298 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 298)/2 = 185

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 298 is 185.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 185 and subtract 185 from 298 and compare the two numbers:

185 - 72 = 113
298 - 185 = 113

As you can see, the halfway number is 113 higher than 72 and 113 lower than 298. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 185 above is correct.
