what number is 1, 999, 999 less than the smallest 10-digit number?


Sagot :

The smallest n-digit number starts with 1 and is followed by (n-1) number of zeroes.

The smallest 10 digit number is 1,000,000,000.

So:
1,000,000,000-1,999,999
=1,000,000,000-(2,000,000-1)
= 1,000,000,000-2,000,000+1
=998,000,000+1
= 998,000,001
