Halfway Between 85 and 838

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 838?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=85 and Y=838.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 838, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 838 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 838)/2 = 461.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 838 is 461.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 461.5 and subtract 461.5 from 838 and compare the two numbers:

461.5 - 85 = 376.5
838 - 461.5 = 376.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 376.5 higher than 85 and 376.5 lower than 838. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 461.5 above is correct.
