Halfway Between 5 and 1000

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 1000?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=1000.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 1000, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 1000 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 1000)/2 = 502.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 1000 is 502.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 502.5 and subtract 502.5 from 1000 and compare the two numbers:

502.5 - 5 = 497.5
1000 - 502.5 = 497.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 497.5 higher than 5 and 497.5 lower than 1000. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 502.5 above is correct.
