Halfway Between 72 and 397

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 397?" 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=397.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 397, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 397 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 397)/2 = 234.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 397 is 234.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 234.5 and subtract 234.5 from 397 and compare the two numbers:

234.5 - 72 = 162.5
397 - 234.5 = 162.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 162.5 higher than 72 and 162.5 lower than 397. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 234.5 above is correct.
