Halfway Between 5 and 551

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 551?" 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=551.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 551, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 551 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 551)/2 = 278

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 551 is 278.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 278 and subtract 278 from 551 and compare the two numbers:

278 - 5 = 273
551 - 278 = 273

As you can see, the halfway number is 273 higher than 5 and 273 lower than 551. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 278 above is correct.
