Halfway Between 5 and 442

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 442?" 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=442.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 442, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 442 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 442)/2 = 223.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 442 is 223.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 223.5 and subtract 223.5 from 442 and compare the two numbers:

223.5 - 5 = 218.5
442 - 223.5 = 218.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 218.5 higher than 5 and 218.5 lower than 442. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 223.5 above is correct.
