find the successor and predecessor a)26,8,943
Answers
Answer:
The successor and predecessor of a whole number are discussed below:
The number that comes just before a number is called the predecessor. So, the predecessor of a given number is 1 less than the given number. Successor of a given number is 1 more than the given number.
For example, 9,99,99,999 is predecessor of 10,00,00,000 or we can also say 10,00,00,000 is the successor of 9,99,99,999.
Definition of Successor:
The number which comes immediately after a particular number is called its successor.
How to find the successor of a number?
The successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to it.
Clearly, the successor of 0 is 1; successor of 1 is 2; successor of 2 is 3 and so on.
We observe that every whole number has its successor.
Definition of Predecessor:
The number which comes just before a particular number is called its predecessor.
The predecessor of a whole number is one less than the given number.
How to find the predecessor of a number?
Clearly, the predecessor of 1 is 0; predecessor of 2 is 1; predecessor of 3 is 2 and so on.
The whole number 0 does not have any predecessor.
We observe that every whole number, other than zero, has its predecessor.
Also, if a is the successor of b, then b is the predecessor of a.
