The house number. A person mentioned that his friend's house is located on a long street (where the houses on the side of the street with his friend's house are numbered consecutively: $1, 2, 3, \ldots$), and that the sum of the house numbers from the beginning of the street to his friend's house matches the sum of the house numbers from his friend's house to the end of the street. It is also known that on the side of the street where his friend's house is located, there are more than 50 but fewer than 500 houses.
