Halfway Between 8 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 42?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=8 and Y=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 42)/2 = 25

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 42 is 25.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 25 and subtract 25 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

25 - 8 = 17
42 - 25 = 17

As you can see, the halfway number is 17 higher than 8 and 17 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 25 above is correct.
