Question

Write down three consecutive whole numbers just preceding 589210001

Answer 1

$\bold\red{answer}$

Preceding means the previous number.

i.e. the number before the number

so we subtract 1 from the number,

589210001-1=589210000

589210000-1=589209999

589209999-1=589209998

Therefore, the three consecutive whole number just preceding 589210001 are 589210000,589209999,589209998
