Halfway Between 5 and 999

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 999?" 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=999.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 999, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 999 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 999)/2 = 502

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 999 is 502.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 502 and subtract 502 from 999 and compare the two numbers:

502 - 5 = 497
999 - 502 = 497

As you can see, the halfway number is 497 higher than 5 and 497 lower than 999. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 502 above is correct.
