Write the next whole number after EEE fifteen in the base-fifteen system

In the base-fifteen system, the digits are represented as follows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E. Here, E represents 14 in the decimal system. The number EEE in base fifteen is equivalent to three consecutive fourteens. It’s similar to how 999 works in the decimal system. When you add one to 999, you roll over to the next set of digits, getting 1000. So, if you add one to EEE in the base-fifteen system, you roll over to the next set of digits, getting 1000. Therefore, the next whole number after EEE in the base-fifteen system is 1000.
