Halfway Between 72 and 361

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 361?" 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=361.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 361, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 361 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 361)/2 = 216.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 361 is 216.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 216.5 and subtract 216.5 from 361 and compare the two numbers:

216.5 - 72 = 144.5
361 - 216.5 = 144.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 144.5 higher than 72 and 144.5 lower than 361. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 216.5 above is correct.
