A reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1.

For example, if we have the number 53/17, the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, would be 1 ÷ 53/17 because when you multiply 53/17 and 1 ÷ 53/17 together, you get 1

Reciprocal (or) Multiplicative Inverse is 17/53
