Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001

Question – Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001.

Solution –

The whole number occurring just before any given number, can be found by subtracting 1 from the given number.

The three whole numbers occurring just before 10001 in the present case, can be  found by subtracting 1 from the number , then subtracting 1 from the result of first subtraction, and then subtracting 1 from the result of second subtraction :

First Number – Subtracting 1 from the number 10001

10001-1  = 10000

Second Number – Subtracting 1 from the number 10000,  the result of first subtraction

10000-1 = 9999

Third Number – Subtracting 1 from the number 9999,  the result of second subtraction

9999-1 = 9998

So, the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001 are 11000, 11001, 11002.
