Halfway Between 5 and 499

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 499?" 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=499.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 499, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 499 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 499)/2 = 252

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 499 is 252.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 252 and subtract 252 from 499 and compare the two numbers:

252 - 5 = 247
499 - 252 = 247

As you can see, the halfway number is 247 higher than 5 and 247 lower than 499. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 252 above is correct.
