Predecessor and Successor
Predecessor
Method 1- Number that comes before a particular number
Method 2-The predecessor of a number is one less than the given number.
Example: Find predecessor of 75
According to method 1
A number before 75 is 74. Therefore 74 is the predecessor of 75
According to method 2
We can say a number less than 75 i.e. 75-1 =74. Therefore 74 is the predecessor of 75
Note: The number 0 does not have any
predecessor as neither there is any number before it nor we can subtract 1 from
it.
Successor
Method 1- Number that comes after a particular number
Method 2-The successor of a number is one more than the given number.
Example: Find successor of 75
According to method 1
A number after 75 is 76. Therefore 76 is the successor of 75
According to method 2
We can say a number more than 75 i.e. 75+1 =76. Therefore 76 is the successor of 75
Hence
