Example
Ex :
Write the successor and predecessor of each of the following numbers:
(i) 1000
(ii) 400099
(iii) One million
Ans:
(i) The successor of 1000 is (1000 + 1) = 1001
The predecessor of 1000 is (1000 – 1) = 999
(ii) The successor of 400099 is (400099 + 1) = 400100.
The predecessor of 400099 is (400099 – 1) = 400098.
(iii) We have,
1 Million
=
1000000
∴ Successor of 1 million
=
1000000 + 1
=
1000001
Predecessor of 1 million
=
1000000 – 1
=
999999
