Halfway Between 5 and 262

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 262?" 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=262.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 262, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 262 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 262)/2 = 133.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 262 is 133.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 133.5 and subtract 133.5 from 262 and compare the two numbers:

133.5 - 5 = 128.5
262 - 133.5 = 128.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 128.5 higher than 5 and 128.5 lower than 262. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 133.5 above is correct.
