Halfway Between 5 and 456

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 456?" 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=456.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 456, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 456 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 456)/2 = 230.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 456 is 230.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 230.5 and subtract 230.5 from 456 and compare the two numbers:

230.5 - 5 = 225.5
456 - 230.5 = 225.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 225.5 higher than 5 and 225.5 lower than 456. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 230.5 above is correct.
