No. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
There is no name other than a reciprocal whole number.
Rules for dividing by a fraction are multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a unit fraction is a whole number. Multiplying by a whole number will make the answer (quotient) larger. ex unit fraction 1/a 7 divided by 1/a = 7 x a/1 = 7a .... a times larger than 7.
not a whole number maby a NEGITIVE
Generally, the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction will be greater than that whole number, because division is simply multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. For instance: 2 / (1/2) = 2 * (2/1)
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
put the #1 under the number to make it a fraction. then just switch them around Let's look at an example to help you understand this idea. 5 = 5/1 The reciprocal is just the fraction flipped over. In this case, 1/5 Thus, a whole number can always be shown as a fraction of itself over 1. The inverted fraction is the reciprocal of the whole number.
Not just every whole number. Every number has a reciprocal, even 0. The reciprocal of 0 is undefined.
Multiply by the reciprocal.
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
Yes. For example, if you have 1/3, the reciprocal would be 3.
A reciprocal, perhaps.
To divide a whole number by a fraction, you can rewrite the fraction as a whole number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number. Then, divide the resulting whole number by the numerator of the fraction. This process is equivalent to multiplying the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
