Halfway Between 5 and 552

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 552?" 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=552.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 552, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 552 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 552)/2 = 278.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 552 is 278.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 278.5 and subtract 278.5 from 552 and compare the two numbers:

278.5 - 5 = 273.5
552 - 278.5 = 273.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 273.5 higher than 5 and 273.5 lower than 552. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 278.5 above is correct.
