I think that the answer becomes 1 because lets say that your number was 24. The reciprocal of 24 = 1/24 and it you multiply 24/1 by 1/24 you get 24/24 = 1
(The reciprocal is a fraction flipped over i.e. bottom number becomes top and top number becomes bottom and with multiplying fractions, you just multiply all the tops and multiply all the bottoms.)

What algorithm makes sense for dividing any fraction by any whole number?
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
How do you find a reciprocal?
A reciprocal is the number you must multiply another number by to get the product of 1. The reciprocal of 4 (which is the same as 4/1) is 1/4. The reciprocal of 3/8 is 8/3. The reciprocal of 13 is 1/13.This can also be expressed using exponents. The reciprocal of any value x is equal to x-1. So the reciprocal of a/b is (a/b)-1, which is equal to b/a.To find a reciprocal, put the number under one. If it is a fraction, flip the fraction. Whatever the reciprocal is, remember that it must always multiply to one with the original number.
What happens when you multiply any number by 0?
Any number multiplied by zero = 0
What is the reciprocal of 5n?
The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. The reciprocal of 5n is therefore 1/5n.
What is the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of -13?
the reciprocal (aka multiplicative inverse) of a number is 1/number, so the reciprocal of -13 is -1/13 (I moved the negative from the 13 to the 1 as per convention, 1/-13 = -1/13). The reciprocal of any number is what you have to multiply that number by to yield 1. -13 * -1/13 = (-13*-1)/13 = 13/13 = 1
What happens when a fraction is multiplied by its reciprocal?
When any number is multiplied by its reciprocal, the product is ' 1 '.
What algorithm makes sense for dividing any fraction by any whole number?
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
What types of numbers can you multiply together to get a rational number?
You can multiply any pair of rational numbers as well as any irrational number and its reciprocal (or a rational multiple of its reciprocal. Thus pi * 3/7*(1/pi) is rational.
When you multiply the reciprocal what do you take to multiply it?
I am not sure about the question, but If 1/4 is a number then (1)/(1/4) which ends up being 4 is its reciprocal. Any number "N" has a reciprocal equal to 1/N and when you multiply the two as in N x 1/N, you will always get 1, that is a number multiplied by its reciprocal will always yield 1. Given one number you can find the other by dividing 1 by the given number

Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.
What is the reciprocal of two?
The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (one-half). The reciprocal of any number is 1/number. Simply stated: The reciprocal of any number is the inverse of that number. Let some number, any number, be represented by 'a'. The reciprocal of 'a' is 1/'a'.
What happens when you multiply any number by 0?
Any number multiplied by zero = 0
What is the reciprocal of -6.125?

What happens when you multiply any positive number by a rational number between 0 and 1?
Wgat happens whe you multiply and positive number by a rational number between 0 and 1?
What is the reciprocal of 5n?
The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. The reciprocal of 5n is therefore 1/5n.
The reciprocal of 4 is?
The reciprocal of any number is one divided by that number, so, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
