Question

Write the predecessor of each of the following numbers:

$5616\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

Answer 1

A predecessor is a value that comes right before/immediate before/just before a particular value. Suppose a value is $n$ (where $n$belongs to any whole number), then the predecessor of $n$ will be $(n-1)$. Thus, to find the predecessor of any value we have to subtract the given value from $1$.

Hence, predecessor of $5616$ is $5616-1=4615$.
