Halfway Between 78 and 461

When you ask "What number is halfway between 78 and 461?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=78 and Y=461.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 78 and 461, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 78 and 461 into our formula, we get:

(78 + 461)/2 = 269.5

Thus, the number halfway between 78 and 461 is 269.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 78 from 269.5 and subtract 269.5 from 461 and compare the two numbers:

269.5 - 78 = 191.5
461 - 269.5 = 191.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 191.5 higher than 78 and 191.5 lower than 461. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 269.5 above is correct.
