Question

What happens to a natural number when:

The smallest natural number is added to it ?

Answer 1

We know that the smallest natural number is$1$.

Let $a$ be any natural number, if we add $1$ to we get-

$=a+1$

$(a+1)$ will be the successor of that number.

For example - if we take any natural number say $4$

By adding $1$ to this number we get- $4+1=5$

Hence, when the smallest natural number is added to a natural number we will get the successor of that number which will also be a natural number.
