Halfway Between 5 and 342

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 342?" 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=342.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 342, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 342 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 342)/2 = 173.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 342 is 173.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 173.5 and subtract 173.5 from 342 and compare the two numbers:

173.5 - 5 = 168.5
342 - 173.5 = 168.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 168.5 higher than 5 and 168.5 lower than 342. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 173.5 above is correct.
