Solution

Precedessor of a Whole Number–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––:
  • A predecessor is a whole number that comes right before/immediate before/just before a given whole number on a number line.
  • Suppose a whole number is , then the predecessor of is a whole number that comes just before on the number line, i.e., (1).
  • Thus, to find the predecessor of any whole number, we have to move 1 unit just before the given whole number.
Now, let's represent 1729 and it's predecessor on a number line.


Predecessor of 1729 is 1728–––.

Successor of a Whole Number––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––:
  • A successor is a whole number that comes right after/immediate after/just after a given whole number on a number line.
  • Suppose a whole number is , then the successor of is a whole number that comes just after on the number line, i.e., (+1) .
  • Thus, to find the successor of any whole number, we have to move 1 unit just after the given whole number.
Now, let's represent 1729 and it's successor on a number line.


Successor of 1729 is 1730–––.
