Complete explanation with examples

Consecutive numbers

A consecutive number is a number that is greater by 1 than the existing number.
When we are asked -
The consecutive number of "any number" is...
We calculate as follows: Any Number+1Any~Number+1

When we are asked -
"Some number" is the consecutive number of...
We calculate as follows: Any Number−1Any~Number-1

Consecutive numbers sequence

Consecutive numbers from smallest to largest are numbers that follow one another in ascending order,
For example:
23,24,25,2623,24,25,26

Sum of Consecutive Numbers

The sum of consecutive numbers is the addition of all consecutive numbers we have.
For example -
23+24+25+2623+24+25+26
We can use the commutative and associative properties and calculate as seen below:
23+25=4523+25=45
24+26=5024+26=50
50+45=9550+45=95

Exercise #1

What number follows 92,099?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the number that comes directly after 92,099. We follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the current number, which is 92,099.
  • Step 2: Apply the rule for finding a successor, which involves adding 1 to the given number.
  • Step 3: Perform the calculation 92,099+1 92,099 + 1 .

Now, let's perform the calculation:

92,099+1=92,100 92,099 + 1 = 92,100

The successor of 92,099 is therefore 92,100.

Reviewing the multiple-choice answers, choice 2 provides the correct successor 92,100 92,100 .

Thus, the number that follows 92,099 is 92,100 92,100 .

Answer:

92,100 92,100

Exercise #2

What number follows 39,999?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the number that directly follows 39,999 in the sequence of natural numbers.

  • Step 1: Start with the number provided in the problem: 39,999 39,999 .
  • Step 2: To find the number that follows, add 1 to the given number: 39,999+1 39,999 + 1 .
  • Step 3: Perform the addition: 39,999+1=40,000 39,999 + 1 = 40,000 .

Through these calculations, we find that the number following 39,999 is 40,000 40,000 .

Answer:

40,000 40,000

Exercise #3

Which number succeeds the number 9209?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed as follows:

  • Identify the number we are working with, which is 9209.
  • Apply the concept of finding a successor by adding 1 to this number.
  • Perform the arithmetic calculation to find the next number.

Now, let's work through these steps:
Step 1: We are given the number 9209.
Step 2: To find its successor, we add 1: 9209+1 9209 + 1 .
Step 3: Calculating this, we have 9209+1=9210 9209 + 1 = 9210 .

Therefore, the successor of 9209 is 9210 9210 .

Answer:

9210 9210

Exercise #4

Which number follows 81,900?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we only need to perform a simple arithmetic operation. We intend to find the successor of the number 81,900 81,900 by applying the following steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given number, which is 81,900 81,900 .
  • Step 2: Use the formula for finding a successor: n+1 n + 1 .
  • Step 3: Add 1 to 81,900 81,900 .

Now let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The given number is 81,900 81,900 .
Step 2: To find the successor, we apply the formula: 81,900+1 81,900 + 1 .
Step 3: Carrying out the addition, we find that:

81,900+1=81,901 81,900 + 1 = 81,901 .

Therefore, the number that follows 81,900 is 81,901 81,901 .

Answer:

81,901 81,901

Exercise #5

What number follows 70,099?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the number that follows 70,099, we will apply the steps below:

  • Step 1: Identify the given number. In this case, it is 70,099.
  • Step 2: Apply the formula for finding the successor, which is to add 1 to the given number. Hence, 70,099+1 70,099 + 1 .
  • Step 3: Perform the calculation: 70,099+1=70,100 70,099 + 1 = 70,100 .

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a consecutive number in math?

+
A consecutive number is a number that is exactly 1 greater than the existing number. For example, 6 is the consecutive number of 5 because 5 + 1 = 6. Consecutive numbers follow each other in counting order without any gaps.

How do you find consecutive numbers step by step?

+
To find the consecutive number after any number, simply add 1. To find what number comes before a consecutive number, subtract 1. For example: consecutive number of 23 is 23 + 1 = 24, and 50 is the consecutive number of 50 - 1 = 49.

What are 4 consecutive numbers examples?

+
Here are examples of 4 consecutive numbers: 1) 12, 13, 14, 15 2) 56, 57, 58, 59 3) 21, 22, 23, 24. These numbers must be arranged from smallest to largest with each number being exactly 1 more than the previous number.

How do you add consecutive numbers quickly?

+
Use the commutative and associative properties to pair numbers efficiently. For example, with 23, 24, 25, 26: pair the outer numbers (23 + 26 = 49) and inner numbers (24 + 25 = 49), then add the pairs (49 + 49 = 98).

Can 0 have a consecutive number?

+
Yes, the consecutive number of 0 is 1, because 0 + 1 = 1. Every whole number, including 0, has a consecutive number that follows it in the counting sequence.

What's the difference between consecutive and sequential numbers?

+
Consecutive numbers are sequential numbers that differ by exactly 1 (like 5, 6, 7). Sequential numbers follow a pattern but may have different intervals (like 2, 4, 6, 8 which are sequential but not consecutive).

How do you solve consecutive number word problems?

+
1) Identify if you need to find the next number (add 1) or previous number (subtract 1) 2) Check if numbers need to be in ascending order 3) For sums, add all consecutive numbers together 4) Use pairing methods for faster calculation when possible.

Are consecutive numbers always positive?

+
No, consecutive numbers can be negative too. For example, -3, -2, -1, 0 are consecutive numbers. The rule of adding 1 to get the next consecutive number applies to all integers, both positive and negative.
