Halfway Between 72 and 317

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 317?" 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=317.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 317, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 317 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 317)/2 = 194.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 317 is 194.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 194.5 and subtract 194.5 from 317 and compare the two numbers:

194.5 - 72 = 122.5
317 - 194.5 = 122.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 122.5 higher than 72 and 122.5 lower than 317. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 194.5 above is correct.
