Halfway Between 72 and 494

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 494?" 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=494.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 494, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 494 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 494)/2 = 283

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 494 is 283.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 283 and subtract 283 from 494 and compare the two numbers:

283 - 72 = 211
494 - 283 = 211

As you can see, the halfway number is 211 higher than 72 and 211 lower than 494. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 283 above is correct.
