Question

Reciprocal of 5 is ____ ( 1/5 , 5/1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We here need to calculate the reciprocal of the given number which is 5. We know that reciprocal of any number is that number which when multiplied with the original number gives us 1 as their product. Therefore we just need to reverse the number to find its multiplicative inverse or the reciprocal as below:

The reciprocal of 5 will be $\frac{1}{5}$

We will verify this by multiplying them both;

5 × $\frac{1}{5}$ = 1

Hence the reciprocal of 5 is $\frac{1}{5}$
