Halfway Between 72 and 470

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 470?" 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=470.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 470, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 470 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 470)/2 = 271

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 470 is 271.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 271 and subtract 271 from 470 and compare the two numbers:

271 - 72 = 199
470 - 271 = 199

As you can see, the halfway number is 199 higher than 72 and 199 lower than 470. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 271 above is correct.
