Halfway Between 5 and 588

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 588?" 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=588.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 588, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 588 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 588)/2 = 296.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 588 is 296.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 296.5 and subtract 296.5 from 588 and compare the two numbers:

296.5 - 5 = 291.5
588 - 296.5 = 291.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 291.5 higher than 5 and 291.5 lower than 588. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 296.5 above is correct.
