Halfway Between 72 and 523

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 523?" 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=523.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 523, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 523 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 523)/2 = 297.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 523 is 297.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 297.5 and subtract 297.5 from 523 and compare the two numbers:

297.5 - 72 = 225.5
523 - 297.5 = 225.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 225.5 higher than 72 and 225.5 lower than 523. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 297.5 above is correct.
