Question

Write three consecutive whole numbers just preceding $729,001$

Answer 1

Preceding means before number.

So, we have to write $3$ consecutive numbers which comes before $729,001$.

For that, we will subtract $1$from the given number.

Therefore, $729,001-1=729,000$.

$729,000-1=728,999$.

$728,999-1=728,998$.

Hence, the three consecutive whole numbers preceding $729,001$ are $728,998;728,999;729,000$.
