Halfway Between 5 and 516

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 516?" 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=516.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 516, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 516 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 516)/2 = 260.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 516 is 260.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 260.5 and subtract 260.5 from 516 and compare the two numbers:

260.5 - 5 = 255.5
516 - 260.5 = 255.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 255.5 higher than 5 and 255.5 lower than 516. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 260.5 above is correct.
