Halfway Between 86 and 242

When you ask "What number is halfway between 86 and 242?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=86 and Y=242.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 86 and 242, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 86 and 242 into our formula, we get:

(86 + 242)/2 = 164

Thus, the number halfway between 86 and 242 is 164.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 86 from 164 and subtract 164 from 242 and compare the two numbers:

164 - 86 = 78
242 - 164 = 78

As you can see, the halfway number is 78 higher than 86 and 78 lower than 242. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 164 above is correct.
