Halfway Between 5 and 553

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 553?" 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=553.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 553, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 553 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 553)/2 = 279

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 553 is 279.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 279 and subtract 279 from 553 and compare the two numbers:

279 - 5 = 274
553 - 279 = 274

As you can see, the halfway number is 274 higher than 5 and 274 lower than 553. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279 above is correct.
