Halfway Between 72 and 531

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 531?" 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=531.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 531, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 531 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 531)/2 = 301.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 531 is 301.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 301.5 and subtract 301.5 from 531 and compare the two numbers:

301.5 - 72 = 229.5
531 - 301.5 = 229.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 229.5 higher than 72 and 229.5 lower than 531. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 301.5 above is correct.
