Halfway Between 5 and 518

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 518?" 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=518.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 518, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 518 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 518)/2 = 261.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 518 is 261.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 261.5 and subtract 261.5 from 518 and compare the two numbers:

261.5 - 5 = 256.5
518 - 261.5 = 256.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 256.5 higher than 5 and 256.5 lower than 518. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 261.5 above is correct.
