By definition, the set of counting numbers starts at one and proceeds in ascending order. The next number is 2. If two were not the next number in the set, it would not be the set of counting numbers.
That's going to depend on which direction you're counting. -- If you're counting up (forward, like counting money), the next one after seven is eight. -- If you're counting down (backward, like a rocket launch), the next one after seven is six.
In counting numbers, a sucessor number is the next higher number than the referenced number.
After 2.9, the next whole number is 3. Decimals are a way to represent parts of a whole number, so when counting in decimals, the next number after 2.9 is the next whole number, which is 3.
That depends on which direction you're counting. Negative 99 is the next higher number, negative 101 is the next lower number.
