Answer:


n.

Explanation:

Assuming that
n \in Z^(+), then all number less than
n+1 are


n+1-1=n

Notice that the "plus one" indicates that the whole number shown by the expression
n+1 indicates a whole number greater than
n\\ by one unit. So, we just subtract one whole unit to achive a number less than the given expression.

Therefore, the answer is
n.
