Halfway Between 5 and 259

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 259?" 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=259.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 259, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 259 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 259)/2 = 132

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 259 is 132.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 132 and subtract 132 from 259 and compare the two numbers:

132 - 5 = 127
259 - 132 = 127

As you can see, the halfway number is 127 higher than 5 and 127 lower than 259. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 132 above is correct.
