Halfway Between 72 and 401

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 401?" 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=401.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 401, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 401 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 401)/2 = 236.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 401 is 236.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 236.5 and subtract 236.5 from 401 and compare the two numbers:

236.5 - 72 = 164.5
401 - 236.5 = 164.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 164.5 higher than 72 and 164.5 lower than 401. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 236.5 above is correct.
