Halfway Between 72 and 492

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 492?" 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=492.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 492, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 492 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 492)/2 = 282

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 492 is 282.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 282 and subtract 282 from 492 and compare the two numbers:

282 - 72 = 210
492 - 282 = 210

As you can see, the halfway number is 210 higher than 72 and 210 lower than 492. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 282 above is correct.
