Halfway Between 5 and 971

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 971?" 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=971.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 971, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 971 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 971)/2 = 488

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 971 is 488.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 488 and subtract 488 from 971 and compare the two numbers:

488 - 5 = 483
971 - 488 = 483

As you can see, the halfway number is 483 higher than 5 and 483 lower than 971. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 488 above is correct.
