Halfway Between 72 and 423

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 423?" 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=423.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 423, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 423 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 423)/2 = 247.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 423 is 247.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 247.5 and subtract 247.5 from 423 and compare the two numbers:

247.5 - 72 = 175.5
423 - 247.5 = 175.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 175.5 higher than 72 and 175.5 lower than 423. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 247.5 above is correct.
