Question

reciprocal of 5 is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5 is multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 5 and vice versa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. The reciprocal of a number is also called its multiplicative inverse. The product of a number and its reciprocal is 1. All numbers except 0 have a reciprocal.The reciprocal of a reciprocal of a number is the number itself .The reciprocal of a number is: 1 divided by the number

Examples:

• the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (half)

• the reciprocal of 10 is 1/10 (=0.1)

When we multiply a number by its reciprocal we get 1.

Example: 2 × 1/2 = 1

Every number has a reciprocal except 0 (1/0 is undefined)

The reciprocal can be shown with a little "-1" like this: x-1 = 1/x

Example: 4-1 = 1/4 = 0.25

Also called the "Multiplicative Inverse"
