Halfway Between 5 and 506

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 506?" 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=506.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 506, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 506 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 506)/2 = 255.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 506 is 255.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 255.5 and subtract 255.5 from 506 and compare the two numbers:

255.5 - 5 = 250.5
506 - 255.5 = 250.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 250.5 higher than 5 and 250.5 lower than 506. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 255.5 above is correct.
