Halfway Between 72 and 398

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 398?" 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=398.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 398, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 398 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 398)/2 = 235

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 398 is 235.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 235 and subtract 235 from 398 and compare the two numbers:

235 - 72 = 163
398 - 235 = 163

As you can see, the halfway number is 163 higher than 72 and 163 lower than 398. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 235 above is correct.
