Halfway Between 5 and 973

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 973?" 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=973.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 973, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 973 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 973)/2 = 489

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 973 is 489.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 489 and subtract 489 from 973 and compare the two numbers:

489 - 5 = 484
973 - 489 = 484

As you can see, the halfway number is 484 higher than 5 and 484 lower than 973. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 489 above is correct.
