Question

Write the three whole numbers occurring just before $10001$.

Answer 1

Determine the $3$whole numbers occurring just before $10,000$.

Whole numbers include all positive integers and zero, but not fractions, decimals, or negative numbers.

To get three whole numbers preceding $10,001$, subtract $1$ from the number three times and write the new number.

When we subtract $1$ from $10,001$, we get $10,000$.

Now subtract $1$ from $10,000$, we get $9,999$.

Now subtract $1$ from $9,999$, we get $9,998$.

Hence, the three whole numbers before $10,000$ are $10,000,9,999$ and $9,998$.
