Halfway Between 5 and 23

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 23?" 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=23.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 23, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 23 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 23)/2 = 14

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 23 is 14.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 14 and subtract 14 from 23 and compare the two numbers:

14 - 5 = 9
23 - 14 = 9

As you can see, the halfway number is 9 higher than 5 and 9 lower than 23. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 14 above is correct.
