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.
 3763214,18340217,984671,3790423,18431056  If 5 occurs at hundreds place, its place value = 5 hundreds = (5 × 100) = 500, and so on.
        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 6 = 6 ones = (6 × 1) = 6;
 Crores  Ten lakhs  Lakhs Ten thousands Thousands Hundreds  Tens  Ones           Place value of 0 = 0 tens = (0 × 10) = 0;
 3  7  6  3  2  1  4          Place value of 8 = 8 hundreds = (8 × 100) = 800;
                              Place value of 4 = 4 thousands = (4 × 1000) = 4000;
 1  8  3  4  0  2  1  7
                              Place value of 3 = 3 ten thousands = (3 × 10000) = 30000;
 9  8  4  6  7  1             Place value of 9 = 9 lakhs = (9 × 100000) = 900000;
 3  7  9  0  4  2  3           Place value of 2 = 2 ten lakhs = (2 ×1000000) = 2000000;
                              Place value of 7 = 7 crores = (7 × 10000000) = 70000000.
 1  8  4  3  1  0  5  6
        EXAMPLE 2. Find the difference of the place values of the two 7s in 75810764.
       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
          Hence, the given numbers in ascending order are:  JUST TRY:1  4,582
          984671 < 3763214 < 3790423 < 18340217 < 18431056.  JUST TRY:2  45,827
        JUST TRY:3  4,58,279
        JUST TRY:4   The successor of 2,468 is
        JUST TRY:5   The successor of 40,243 is
        JUST TRY:6  The predecessor of 2,465 is
        JUST TRY:7   The predecessor of 24,658 is
