Halfway Between 8 and 86

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 86?" 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=86.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 86, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 86 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 86)/2 = 47

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 86 is 47.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 47 and subtract 47 from 86 and compare the two numbers:

47 - 8 = 39
86 - 47 = 39

As you can see, the halfway number is 39 higher than 8 and 39 lower than 86. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 47 above is correct.
