There is no such number. You can get as close as you like, and there will still be numbers that are even closer.
There is no such number.Suppose x were such a number. Then consider (x+12000)/2, the number halfway between x and 12000. It is easy to show thatit is less than 12000 andit is closer to 12000 than x was.So x could not have been the solution.But using the same process you can find the number halfway between this number and 12000 which will still be less than 12000 and nearer still. This can go on forever, and you will never reach the closest.
8,000-100=7,900
