Question

what is the predecessor of the smallest 5-digit number

Answer 1

Answer:

The predecessor of the "smallest 5-digit number" is 9999

Solution:

We know that,  

The "smallest 5-digit number" is 10000

Predecessor is the term which precedes the number.

The predecessor of the "smallest 5 digit number" will be equal to one less than the smallest five digit number

i.e., 10000 = 10000 -1  

                 = 9999

Hence, the predecessor of the "smallest 5-digit number" is 9999 (i.e. The largest 4 digit number).
