Halfway Between 5 and 157

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 157?" 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=157.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 157, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 157 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 157)/2 = 81

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 157 is 81.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 81 and subtract 81 from 157 and compare the two numbers:

81 - 5 = 76
157 - 81 = 76

As you can see, the halfway number is 76 higher than 5 and 76 lower than 157. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 81 above is correct.
