Answer 2

The difference between the predecessor of a number and the number itself is -1.

• A predecessor is a number that comes immediately before a number.
• We subtract 1 from the given number.
• If n is the given number then its predecessor is n-1.
• For example, if the given number is 100 then its predecessor is 100-1 which is equal to 99.
• Another simple method to find the predecessor of the given number is by counting.
• For example, if the given number is 5, then start counting 1,2,3,4,5 and the number just before 5 is 4 therefore 4 is the predecessor of the number 5.
