Halfway Between 5 and 524

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 524?" 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=524.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 524, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 524 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 524)/2 = 264.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 524 is 264.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 264.5 and subtract 264.5 from 524 and compare the two numbers:

264.5 - 5 = 259.5
524 - 264.5 = 259.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 259.5 higher than 5 and 259.5 lower than 524. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 264.5 above is correct.
