SUCCESSOR OF A WHOLE NUMBER If we add 1 to a whole number, we get the next whole number,                                   EXAMPLE 4.  Arrange thefollowing numbers in descending order:
        called its successor. Thus, the successor of 0 is 1, the successor of 1 is 2, the successor of 12 is 13, and so on.                             63872604, 4965328, 63890503, 5023145, 576943
        Every whole number has its successor.                                                                                      SOLUTION   Let us arrange the given numbers in a place - value chart.

        PREDECESSOR OF A WHOLE NUMBER                                                                                                                Ten   Crores   Ten    Lakhs      Ten     Thousands Hundreds Tens        Ones
        One less than a given whole number (other than 0), is called its predecessor. Thus, the predecessor of 1 is 0, the                         crores           lakhs         thousands
        predecessor of2 is 1, the predecessor of 10 is 9, and so on.                                                                                          6       3      8         7           2          6         0      4
                                                                                                                                                                      4      9         6           5          3         2      8
        The whole number 0 does not have its predecessor.
        Every whole number other than 0 has its predecessor.                                                                                                  6       3      8         9           0          5         0      3
                                                                                                                                                                      5      0         2           3          1         4      5
        EXAMPLE 2: Write the successor and predecessor of                                                                                                                    5         7           6          9         4      3
                              (i) 1000      (ii) 1005399          (iii) 999999                                                     FACE VALUE OF A DIGIT IN A NUMERAL
        SOLUTION  (i)  The successor of l000 = (1000 + 1) = 1001.                                                                  The face value of a digit remains as it is, whatever place it may be occupying in the place-value chart.
                              The predecessor of l000 = (1000 -1) = 999.                                                           Thus, the face value of 4 is always 4, wherever it may be.
                       (ii) The successor of 1005399 = (1005399 + 1) = 1005400.
                                The predecessor of l005399 =  (1005399 -1) = 1005398.                                              PLACE VALUE OF A DIGIT IN A NUMERAL
                       (iii)The successor of 999999 = (999999 + 1) = 1000000.                                                      The place value of a digit in a numeral depends upon the place it occupies in the place-value chart.
                                 The predecessor of 999999 = (999999 - 1) = 999998                                                 If 5 occurs at ones place, its place value = 5 ones = (5× 1) = 5.
        EXAMPLE 3. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order:                                                               If 5 occurs at tens place, its place value = 5 tens = (5 × 10) = 50.

                                                                                                                                   Some more examples are given below.
        SOLUTION  Let us arrange the given numbers in a place-value chart, as shown below.                                         EXAMPLE 5. Consider the numeral ‘72934806’. In this numeral, we have

                                                                                                                                                        Place value of 4 = 4 thousands = (4 × 1000) = 4000;

                       Out of the given numbers one is a 6 - digit number, two are 7-digit numbers and                             SOLUTION  The place value of 7 at crores place = 7 crores = (7 × 10000000) = 70000000.
                              two are 8 - digit numbers.                                                                                                The place value of 7 at hundred place = 7 hundreds = (7 × 100) = 700.
                              6 - digit number is 984671.                                                                                               Required difference = (70000000 - 700) = 69999300.
                              In 7- digit numbers we have 3763214 < 3790423.
                              In 8 - digit numbers we have 18340217 < 18431056.                                                    Expanded Form
