Halfway Between 72 and 500

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 500?" 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=500.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 500, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 500 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 500)/2 = 286

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 500 is 286.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 286 and subtract 286 from 500 and compare the two numbers:

286 - 72 = 214
500 - 286 = 214

As you can see, the halfway number is 214 higher than 72 and 214 lower than 500. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 286 above is correct.
