Question

Write down three consecutive whole numbers just preceding $5,10,001$

Answer 1

We know that

We can find consecutive whole numbers preceding a number by subtracting $1$ from the given number.

$\Rightarrow$The number preceding to $5,10,001=(510001-1)=5,10,000$

The number preceding to $5,10,000=(510000-1)=5,09,999$

The number preceding to $5,09,999=(509999-1)=5,09,998$

Hence the three consecutive whole numbers succeeding $5,10,001$ are $5,10,000,5,09,999$ and $5,09,998$
