Raghav1901:
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. So, for example, the reciprocal of 3 is 1 divided by 3, which is 1/3. A reciprocal is also a number taken to the power of -1. So, 1/8 is the same as 8 to the power of -1.

Answer:
In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x⁻¹, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.
So, for example, the reciprocal of 3 is 1 divided by 3, which is 1/3. A reciprocal is also a number taken to the power of -1. So, 1/8 is the same as 8 to the power of -1.
