Halfway Between 5 and 586

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 586?" 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=586.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 586, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 586 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 586)/2 = 295.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 586 is 295.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 295.5 and subtract 295.5 from 586 and compare the two numbers:

295.5 - 5 = 290.5
586 - 295.5 = 290.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 290.5 higher than 5 and 290.5 lower than 586. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 295.5 above is correct.
