Halfway Between 8 and 490

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 490?" 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=490.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 490, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 490 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 490)/2 = 249

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 490 is 249.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 249 and subtract 249 from 490 and compare the two numbers:

249 - 8 = 241
490 - 249 = 241

As you can see, the halfway number is 241 higher than 8 and 241 lower than 490. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 249 above is correct.
