Let's say that the nonzero real number is n. Then the reciprocal would be (1/n). So the product is the following
n*(1/n)=(n/n)=1
In conclusion the product of any nonzero real number and it's reciprocal is always 1.

What is the reciprocal of -0.8 -2.5 and 0?
The reciprocal of a number, k, is just 1/k. The other way to look at it is that the product of a number and its reciprocal is one. The reciprocals of -0.8, -2.5, and 0 are -1.25, -0.4, and infinity, respectively.
Does every number have a reciprocal why?
Every number does not. 0 is a number and it does not have a reciprocal.
Is there any number that does not have a reciprocal?
Only 0 doesn't have a reciprocal
Is the reciprocal of every rational number possible?
No. 0 is rational and has no reciprocal.
Is there a number that has no reciprocal?
Yes, 0.
What is the product of any number and any nonzero number?
A number - which would also be the case if the second number were 0. The result is called the product or the multiple.
What is the reciprocal of -0.8 -2.5 and 0?
The reciprocal of a number, k, is just 1/k. The other way to look at it is that the product of a number and its reciprocal is one. The reciprocals of -0.8, -2.5, and 0 are -1.25, -0.4, and infinity, respectively.
Does every number have a reciprocal why?
Every number does not. 0 is a number and it does not have a reciprocal.
Does every real number have a reciprocal?
No, 0 does not have a reciprocal, yet 0 is a real number.
What real number does not have reciprocal?
0 has no reciprocal
What is a nonzero multiple?
A nonzero multiple of a number is a multiple which is not equal to 0.
Is there any number that does not have a reciprocal?
Only 0 doesn't have a reciprocal
Can you multiply an irrational number by a rational number and the answer is rational?
The product of an irrational number and a rational number, both nonzero, is always irrational
Is the reciprocal of every rational number possible?
No. 0 is rational and has no reciprocal.
Is there a number that has no reciprocal?
Yes, 0.
Why 1 and 0 are not prime number nor composite number?
Actually, 1 is composite. As for 0: "Zero has an infinite number of divisors (any nonzero whole number divides zero). It cannot be written as a product of two factors, neither of which is itself, so zero is also not composite. It falls in a class of numbers called zero-divisors. These are numbers such that, when multiplied by some nonzero number, the product is zero. " -Dr. Rob, the math forum
Does every whole number have a reciprocal?
Not just every whole number. Every number has a reciprocal, even 0. The reciprocal of 0 is undefined.
