Halfway Between 5 and 981

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 981?" 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=981.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 981, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 981 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 981)/2 = 493

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 981 is 493.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 493 and subtract 493 from 981 and compare the two numbers:

493 - 5 = 488
981 - 493 = 488

As you can see, the halfway number is 488 higher than 5 and 488 lower than 981. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 493 above is correct.
