What is obtained of a fraction by interchanging its numerator and denominator

EVALUATION

$\displaystyle \sf{Let \: us \: consider \: the \: fraction \: \: \frac{x}{y} }$

Then for the above fraction :

Numerator = x

Denominator = y

Now if we interchange its numerator and denominator

Then for the new fraction :

Numerator = y

Denominator = x

$\displaystyle \sf{So \: the \: obtained \: new \: fraction = \frac{y}{x} }$

Which is the reciprocal of the given fraction

Thus the fraction which is obtained by interchanging its numerator and denominator is called reciprocal of the given fraction
