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 that
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.
The closest whole number is 11999.
101. If you want a prime number less than 100, the closest is 97.
The closest prime number to 16, and less than 16, is 13. The closest prime number to 33, and greater than 33, is 37.
The closest whole number to 3/8 would be 1. It is less than the first whole number.
100% equals the number. Less than 100% is less than the number. Greater than 100% is greater than the number.
Let x = the number Difference: 5 is less than a number: 5 < x 5 less than a number: x - 5 1234
11997 One calculation. 12000 is 9 x 1333.33 recurring. The largest number as a multiple of 9 which is less than 12000 would be that number which is one decimal place lower than the above number. That is 1333.333.......n2. There would be an infinite number of decimal places before the 2 I leave the calculation as an exercise to the student
In integers, that's 11,999
There is no such number. You can get as close as you like, and there will still be numbers that are even closer.
12000
101. If you want a prime number less than 100, the closest is 97.
The closest prime number to 16, and less than 16, is 13. The closest prime number to 33, and greater than 33, is 37.
The number closest to 61 is 61 itself, of course.Other than that, the closest numbers are one less than 61 (61 - 1), and one more (61 + 1).
The closest whole number to 3/8 would be 1. It is less than the first whole number.
To the nearest whole number 1.049 is simply 1. 1 is the closest whole number less than 1.049 and 2 is the closest whole number more than 1.049. It's pretty obvious that it's much, much closer to 1 than to 2.
Yes. The federal threshhold for income to become taxable is less than $12K
3.5 is itself a number and so it is the closest number. You cannot get closer to a number than the number itself!
The closest integer larger than 4000 is 4001.
