Question

the number , whose reciprocal is same as the number is ______ .​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and -1 are the only rational numbers which are their own reciprocal. No other rational number is equal to its own reciprocal. So the rational numbers that are equal to their reciprocals are 1 and -1.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number whose reciprocal is the same as the number is 1 and -1

Explanation:

• Another name for reciprocal is multiplicative inverse.
• Reciprocal is simply defined as something that is similar on both sides.

• For example the reciprocal for a number $5$ is $1/5$

• We can also write it as $5^{-1}$

• Hence when we will do a reciprocal for numbers 1 and -1; we will get $1/1 =1\\-1/-1 = -1$
• Therefore, the number, whose reciprocal is the same as the number is 1 and -1.
