Believe it or not, all number ends at 9. Adding 1 to 9 makes it 10...so it goes..

u just add 1 to 9 then u get 10...add continuosly! Like this...10+1=1'1'+1=1'2'+1=1'3'...at the end of the day, u get no other number than 1-9. I know this doesn´t make sense but it´s true!

It sounds like you've only just worked out how base ten works.
Are you asking for the largest number BETWEEN 1 and 10?
In base ten, you can only have a maximum of nine units [1 to 9]; when adding another unit you make a ten [10].
Since 10 is of a different magnitude than 1 [and thus perhaps not in the same number class? Quite happy to be corrected on this], then I think your answer is 9.

It depends how you define 'number'. I think you mean 'numeral' - and your statement only applies to the Base 10 system. The highest numeral in any system is 1 less than the base.
In Base 2, the highest numeral is 1, in Base 16 it is A (=15 in Base 10)
Please check your words in a dictionary: specifically 'number' and 'numeral'. A numeral is a character used in a number system, whereas a number is a quantity (often an integer) which can be expressed using an arrangement of one or more numerals in a number system.

Ok yes it is 9 as the highest single digit a number can end with, but number do not end with 1-9, they end with 0-9.
Just you know pointing that out...

Are you saying that 10 is not a number? Could have fooled me!
10 is the highest number from 1-10.
