99999 and 100000
Assuming that 000001 isn't considered as the smallest number with 6 digits on the basis that it would just be written as 1 instead: greatest whole number with 5 digits: 99,999 smallest whole number with 6 digits: 100,000 So hence the 6 digit number is the greatest. If negative numbers were involved though, then the 5 digit number would be the largest by definition. As it would still be 99,999 whereas the smallest 6 digit number would be -999,999
