When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 470?" 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=470.

To find the number halfway between 79 and 470, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 470 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 470)/2 = 274.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 470 is 274.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 274.5 and subtract 274.5 from 470 and compare the two numbers:
274.5 - 79 = 195.5
470 - 274.5 = 195.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 195.5 higher than 79 and 195.5 lower than 470. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 274.5 above is correct.
