Halfway Between 5 and 587

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 587?" 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=587.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 587, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 587 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 587)/2 = 296

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 587 is 296.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 296 and subtract 296 from 587 and compare the two numbers:

296 - 5 = 291
587 - 296 = 291

As you can see, the halfway number is 291 higher than 5 and 291 lower than 587. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 296 above is correct.
