Complete the previous and following number:
To solve this problem, we will find the numbers immediately before and after 13,899:
Let's perform these calculations:
Step 1: Predecessor is . Therefore, the number before 13,899 is 13,898.
Step 2: Successor is . Therefore, the number after 13,899 is 13,900.
Thus, the complete sequence is .
The correct answer is choice 1:
What number comes before 31,000?
Consecutive means numbers that follow each other in order with no gaps. Like 5, 6, 7 or 23, 24, 25. Each number is exactly 1 more than the previous one!
To find the number immediately before any number, you subtract 1. Think of counting backwards: 15, 14, 13... Each step goes down by 1.
No problem! When you add 1 to a number ending in 9, it creates the next number. For example: 13,899 + 1 = 13,900. The 9s become 0s and we carry over to the next place value.
Make sure each number is exactly 1 more than the previous one. Count up: first number → second number → third number. The differences should all be 1!
Yes! Consecutive integers always increase by exactly 1. If numbers increase by 2, 5, or 10, they're not consecutive anymore - they have gaps between them.
