Question

What is the successor of the given number:
$378915$

Answer 1

Hint: Here we need to proceed by knowing the meaning of the successor of the number. Successor of any number is one more than that number or we can say that we need to add $1$ to that number and get the successor. Opposite of the successor is predecessor which means $1$ less that number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here we are given to find the successor of the number $378915$
So firstly, let us know what successor means. Successors of any number means that we need to find the number that comes ahead of that number. In simple words we can say that we get a successor of the number when we add one to that number.
For example: If we have the number $71$ and we are told to find the successor of this number. So basically we need to find the number that is $1$ more than that of this number. So adding $1$ to$71$, we get:
$1 + 71 = 72$
So we can say that $72$ is the successor of the number $71$
Similarly if we are told to find the predecessor of any number we need to subtract $1$ instead of adding. So predecessor of the number $71$ will be $71 - 1 = 70$
Now we need to find the successor of the number $378915$
So basically we need to add $1$ to this number. Adding one we will get:
 $378915 + 1 = 378916$
So we get that the successor of the number $378915$ is $378916$.

Note: Here we must know the difference between the terms successor and predecessor of any number. One can make the mistake by not knowing where we need to add one and where to subtract.
