Halfway Between 5 and 497

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 497?" 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=497.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 497, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 497 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 497)/2 = 251

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 497 is 251.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 251 and subtract 251 from 497 and compare the two numbers:

251 - 5 = 246
497 - 251 = 246

As you can see, the halfway number is 246 higher than 5 and 246 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 251 above is correct.
