No one can really answer this. They can only give you the speculation on what would of happened if they did not drop the bomb. The war was very long and a huge drain on resources for most of the world. With Russia completely were virtually wiped out and said they were unable to help tackle Japan for at least 6-8 months. Britain and France were crippled. USA were mostly on there own to fight the battle against Japan. The war against Japan could have lasted years and cost a lot more lives than dropping the bomb. The war also needed to be ended quickly because we still had to decide what to do with Germany now that they had surrendered.
