Halfway Between 5 and 596

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 596?" 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=596.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 596, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 596 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 596)/2 = 300.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 596 is 300.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 300.5 and subtract 300.5 from 596 and compare the two numbers:

300.5 - 5 = 295.5
596 - 300.5 = 295.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 295.5 higher than 5 and 295.5 lower than 596. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 300.5 above is correct.
