Halfway Between 72 and 456

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 456?" 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=456.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 456, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 456 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 456)/2 = 264

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 456 is 264.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 264 and subtract 264 from 456 and compare the two numbers:

264 - 72 = 192
456 - 264 = 192

As you can see, the halfway number is 192 higher than 72 and 192 lower than 456. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 264 above is correct.
