Halfway Between 72 and 490

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 490?" 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=490.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 490, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 490 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 490)/2 = 281

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 490 is 281.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 281 and subtract 281 from 490 and compare the two numbers:

281 - 72 = 209
490 - 281 = 209

As you can see, the halfway number is 209 higher than 72 and 209 lower than 490. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 281 above is correct.
