Halfway Between 5 and 578

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 578?" 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=578.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 578, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 578 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 578)/2 = 291.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 578 is 291.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 291.5 and subtract 291.5 from 578 and compare the two numbers:

291.5 - 5 = 286.5
578 - 291.5 = 286.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 286.5 higher than 5 and 286.5 lower than 578. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 291.5 above is correct.
