Halfway Between 5 and 983

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 983?" 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=983.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 983, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 983 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 983)/2 = 494

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 983 is 494.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 494 and subtract 494 from 983 and compare the two numbers:

494 - 5 = 489
983 - 494 = 489

As you can see, the halfway number is 489 higher than 5 and 489 lower than 983. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 494 above is correct.
