Halfway Between 72 and 501

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 501?" 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=501.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 501, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 501 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 501)/2 = 286.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 501 is 286.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 286.5 and subtract 286.5 from 501 and compare the two numbers:

286.5 - 72 = 214.5
501 - 286.5 = 214.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 214.5 higher than 72 and 214.5 lower than 501. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 286.5 above is correct.
