When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 796?" 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=796.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 796, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 796 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 796)/2 = 400.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 796 is 400.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 400.5 and subtract 400.5 from 796 and compare the two numbers:
400.5 - 5 = 395.5
796 - 400.5 = 395.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 395.5 higher than 5 and 395.5 lower than 796. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 400.5 above is correct.
