Halfway Between 72 and 461

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 461?" 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=461.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 461, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 461 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 461)/2 = 266.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 461 is 266.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 266.5 and subtract 266.5 from 461 and compare the two numbers:

266.5 - 72 = 194.5
461 - 266.5 = 194.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 194.5 higher than 72 and 194.5 lower than 461. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 266.5 above is correct.
