Confused about use of “one another” in a possessive way
0
In this sentence, I don't understand why there is a 's at the end of "one another":
We are constantly making comparisons to one another's success.
Does this sentence make sense? If not please help me fix it. Thank you.

"One another" typically holds the same meaning as "each other". It means "Every member in a group of two or more"
