Question

the number whose reciprocal is the same

Answer 1

Answer:

1 is the number whose reciprocal is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Reciprocal of a number means inversion of a number.
• To get the reciprocal of a number, we have convert it in the form of p/q, where p is numerator and q is denominator.
• when we do the reciprocal of the number, there will be the interchange between the Numerator and denominator.
• Or, we can calculate the reciprocal of a number by simply devide 1 by the given number.
• Example: If 5 is a number then we devide it 1 by this number. Then we get 1/5 as the reciprocal of the number 5.
• Or, if we convert it in p/q form, we can write 5 as 5/1. Then if we calculate the reciprocal of 5 then, it will be 1/5.( as we interchange numerator and denominator.)
• If it is already a fraction, then we get its reciprocal by simply interchange its numerator and denominator. Example: the reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
• In the reciprocal of a number or fraction, the sign doesn't change.
• The number whose reciprocal is the same means if we convert it in p/q form, then its numerator and denominator is same.
• Such number is 1. If we write 1 in p/q form, then it will be 1/1 and its reciprocal is also 1/1 i.e. 1.
• So reciprocal of 1 is 1.
