Halfway Between 5 and 396

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 396?" 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=396.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 396, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 396 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 396)/2 = 200.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 396 is 200.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 200.5 and subtract 200.5 from 396 and compare the two numbers:

200.5 - 5 = 195.5
396 - 200.5 = 195.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 195.5 higher than 5 and 195.5 lower than 396. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 200.5 above is correct.
