Halfway Between 5 and 598

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 598?" 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=598.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 598, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 598 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 598)/2 = 301.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 598 is 301.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 301.5 and subtract 301.5 from 598 and compare the two numbers:

301.5 - 5 = 296.5
598 - 301.5 = 296.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 296.5 higher than 5 and 296.5 lower than 598. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 301.5 above is correct.
