Consecutive numbers up to a Million: Identifying the given number in the series using the predecessor/ successor

Examples with solutions for Consecutive numbers up to a Million: Identifying the given number in the series using the predecessor/ successor

Exercise #1

My previous number is 77,049

Who am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the successor of the number 77,049 77,049 since this number is specified as the predecessor.

  • Step 1: Start with the given number, 77,049 77,049 .
  • Step 2: Add 1 to this number to find the next consecutive number.

Mathematically, this is expressed as:

77,049+1=77,050 77,049 + 1 = 77,050

Therefore, the number we are looking for, which comes immediately after 77,049 77,049 , is 77,050 77,050 .

Answer

77,050 77,050

Exercise #2

My previous number is 80,350

Who am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

The goal is to determine the number that comes immediately after 80,350.

  • Step 1: Start with the provided number, which is 80,350.
  • Step 2: Recognize that in a sequence of consecutive integers, the number immediately following 80,350 is its successor.
  • Step 3: To find the successor of any number n n , use the formula n+1 n + 1 .

Now let's calculate:

Given number: 80,350 80,350

Successor: 80,350+1=80,351 80,350 + 1 = 80,351

Therefore, the number we are looking for is 80,351 80,351 .

The correct answer is choice 1: 80,351 80,351 .

Answer

80,351 80,351

Exercise #3

My following number is 69,000

Who am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given number, which is 69,000 69,000 .
  • Step 2: Find the number that comes before it by subtracting 1 from 69,000.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The given number is 69,000 69,000 .
Step 2: To find the preceding number, we calculate 69,0001 69,000 - 1 .

Calculating this, we have:
69,0001=68,999 69,000 - 1 = 68,999

Therefore, the number preceding 69,000 69,000 is 68,999 68,999 .

Answer

68,999 68,999

Exercise #4

My following number is 70,010

Who am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's proceed as follows:

  • Step 1: Identify the given number, which is 70,010 70,010 .
  • Step 2: Use subtraction to find the predecessor. The formula to use here is: Predecessor = Given Number - 1.
  • Step 3: Perform the calculation: 70,0101=70,009 70,010 - 1 = 70,009 .

Therefore, the number immediately preceding 70,010 70,010 is 70,009 70,009 .

Given the answer choices, the correct choice is:
Choice 4: 70,009 70,009 .

Answer

70,009 70,009
