Halfway Between 5 and 538

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 538?" 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=538.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 538, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 538 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 538)/2 = 271.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 538 is 271.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 271.5 and subtract 271.5 from 538 and compare the two numbers:

271.5 - 5 = 266.5
538 - 271.5 = 266.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 266.5 higher than 5 and 266.5 lower than 538. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 271.5 above is correct.
