When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 261?" 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=261.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 261, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 261 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 261)/2 = 133
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 261 is 133.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 133 and subtract 133 from 261 and compare the two numbers:
133 - 5 = 128
261 - 133 = 128
As you can see, the halfway number is 128 higher than 5 and 128 lower than 261. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 133 above is correct.
