@joilsongalhardo Ok, so it is trailing. Brazil is close behind or following the US.
When a person follows an animal by its footprints, they are tracking the animal. They're following the animals trail/route, or trailing the animal.
Your example is using the same concept, but applying it to numbers, one number is following the other number.
