RECIPROCAL FRACTIONS -
Two numbers are reciprocals of each other if their product is one.
RECIPROCAL OF A GIVEN FRACTION -
Numerator Denominator
---------------- will be ---------------- (The Inverse)
Denominator Numerator
Please Note:-
a) The reciprocal of one is itself.
b) Zero does not have any reciprocal.
There are some examples are given below for your better understanding -
