The reciprocal of any number
n is 1/n.
For example:
The reciprocal of 8 is 1/8 |
|
Any non-zero number
multiplied by its reciprocal is 1
For example:
6 x 1/6=1, 13 x 1/13=1
|
So, the reciprocal of any number is its
multiplicative inverse, but zero has no reciprocal, because division by zero is
not defined.
