Halfway Between 5 and 501

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 501?" 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=501.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 501, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 501 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 501)/2 = 253

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 501 is 253.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 253 and subtract 253 from 501 and compare the two numbers:

253 - 5 = 248
501 - 253 = 248

As you can see, the halfway number is 248 higher than 5 and 248 lower than 501. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 253 above is correct.
