Halfway Between 72 and 499

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 499?" 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=499.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 499, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 499 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 499)/2 = 285.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 499 is 285.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 285.5 and subtract 285.5 from 499 and compare the two numbers:

285.5 - 72 = 213.5
499 - 285.5 = 213.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 213.5 higher than 72 and 213.5 lower than 499. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 285.5 above is correct.
