Halfway Between 5 and 487

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 487?" 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=487.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 487, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 487 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 487)/2 = 246

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 487 is 246.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 246 and subtract 246 from 487 and compare the two numbers:

246 - 5 = 241
487 - 246 = 241

As you can see, the halfway number is 241 higher than 5 and 241 lower than 487. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 246 above is correct.
