Question 114

Idea: The successor of a number means the next number just after it.

So, successor = number + 1.

Given number: \(106159\)

Add \(1\): \(106159 + 1\)

1. Ones place: \(9 + 1 = 10\) → write \(0\), carry \(1\).
2. Tens place: \(5 + \text{carry }1 = 6\) → write \(6\).
3. Hundreds place: \(1\) (no carry now) → write \(1\).
4. Thousands place: \(6\) → write \(6\).
5. Ten-thousands place: \(0\) → write \(0\).
6. Hundred-thousands place: \(1\) → write \(1\).

Result: \(106160\).

Therefore, the successor of \(106159\) is \(106160\).
