The three whole numbers that come just before 10001 are 10000, 9999, and 9998. Whole numbers are non-negative integers, starting from 0 and going upwards without any fractional or decimal parts.
To find the numbers just before 10001, we simply subtract one from 10001 repeatedly.
– Starting from 10001:
- 10001 – 1 = 10000
- 10000 – 1 = 9999
- 9999 – 1 = 9998
Thus, the three whole numbers occurring right before 10001 are 10000, 9999, and 9998.
