Question

Successor 579 predecessor

Answer 1

Given:

Given number is 579.

To find:

We need to calculate the successor and predecessor of the number 579.

Solution:

Before solving the question, we should know the meaning of successor and predecessor.

• Successor: When we add one to a number, it is known as successor            of that number.

                                                             (or)

        The next number of a number is known successor.

• Predecessor: When we subtract one to a number, it is known as predecessor of that number.

                                                             (or)

        The previous number of a number is known predecessor.

The given number is 579.

Successor of 579 is $=579+1=580$.

Predecessor of 579 is $=579-1=578$.

Therefore, successor of 579 is 580 and predecessor of 579 is 578.
