Halfway Between 5 and 536

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 536?" 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=536.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 536, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 536 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 536)/2 = 270.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 536 is 270.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 270.5 and subtract 270.5 from 536 and compare the two numbers:

270.5 - 5 = 265.5
536 - 270.5 = 265.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 265.5 higher than 5 and 265.5 lower than 536. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 270.5 above is correct.
