Question. 115
Predecessor of 100000 is ____.
Answer:
99999
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Meaning: The predecessor of a number is the number that comes just before it.
Rule: Predecessor of a number \(n\) is \(n - 1\).
Apply the rule: Here, \(n = 100000\).
So we find \(100000 - 1\).
Subtract: \(100000 - 1 = 99999\).
Check: If we add 1 back — \(99999 + 1 = 100000\) — so \(99999\) is just before \(100000\).
Therefore, the predecessor of \(100000\) is 99999.
