Halfway Between 79 and 256

When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 256?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=79 and Y=256.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 79 and 256, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 79 and 256 into our formula, we get:

(79 + 256)/2 = 167.5

Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 256 is 167.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 167.5 and subtract 167.5 from 256 and compare the two numbers:

167.5 - 79 = 88.5
256 - 167.5 = 88.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 88.5 higher than 79 and 88.5 lower than 256. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 167.5 above is correct.
