Question

Write the smallest seven-digit number. How far is it from the largest six-digit number?

Answer 1

Determine the distance between the lowest $7-$digit number and the greatest $6-$digit number.

$1000000$is the smallest $7-$digit number.

$999999$ is the largest $6-$digit number.

The difference between the smallest $7-$digit number and the largest $6-$digit number is

$$\begin{gathered} =1000000–999999 \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the distance between the lowest $7-$digit number and the greatest $6-$digit number is $“1”$.
