Halfway Between 72 and 540

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 540?" 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=540.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 540, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 540 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 540)/2 = 306

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 540 is 306.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 306 and subtract 306 from 540 and compare the two numbers:

306 - 72 = 234
540 - 306 = 234

As you can see, the halfway number is 234 higher than 72 and 234 lower than 540. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 306 above is correct.
