Halfway Between 72 and 440

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 440?" 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=440.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 440, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 440 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 440)/2 = 256

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 440 is 256.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 256 and subtract 256 from 440 and compare the two numbers:

256 - 72 = 184
440 - 256 = 184

As you can see, the halfway number is 184 higher than 72 and 184 lower than 440. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256 above is correct.
