Introduction
Imagine standing on a staircase. Step up, and you move to the next number, your successor. Step down and you land on the previous number, your predecessor. Numbers work in a similar, easy-to-follow way!
CISCE: Class 6
Successor and Predecessor of Whole Number
Successor of a Whole Number:
The successor of a number is the next number you get when you add 1 to it.
For example:
- The successor of 0 is 1 (0 + 1 = 1).
- The successor of 1 is 2 (1 + 1 = 2).
- The successor of 5 is 6 (5 + 1 = 6).
Predecessor of a Whole Number:
The predecessor of a number is the previous number you get when you subtract 1 from it.
For example:
- The predecessor of 1 is 0 (1 - 1 = 0).
- The predecessor of 2 is 1 (2 - 1 = 1).
- The predecessor of 8 is 7 (8 - 1 = 7).
CISCE: Class 6
Real-Life Applications
-
In a queue: If you’re 12th, the 13th person is your successor; the 11th is your predecessor.
-
On a calendar: The day after Tuesday (Tuesday’s successor) is Wednesday.
-
When counting pages, the next page number is the successor!
CISCE: Class 6
Key Points
- The successor of 0 is 1.
- The predecessor of 0 is not possible because there is no whole number before 0.
- The predecessor of 1 is 0.
- The predecessor of the natural number 1 is not possible because there is no whole number less than 1.
