Halfway Between 72 and 497

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 497?" 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=497.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 497, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 497 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 497)/2 = 284.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 497 is 284.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 284.5 and subtract 284.5 from 497 and compare the two numbers:

284.5 - 72 = 212.5
497 - 284.5 = 212.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 212.5 higher than 72 and 212.5 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 284.5 above is correct.
