The question is ambiguous. The multiplicative inverse of (5 divided by 8) = 8 divided by 5. while The multiplicative inverse of (5) divided by 8 = (1 divided by 5) divided by 8 = 1/40

Assuming the question is about the multiplicative inverse, the answer is, -1. It is its own multiplicative inverse.

The multiplicative inverse of any number is the number you have to multiply the original number by in order to get the multiplicative identity (1). -3-8 = -11 The multiplicative inverse of -11 is -1/11, since -11 x (-1/11) = 1. I am wondering if you meant to write -3/8 instead of -3-8. If you meant to ask what the multiplicative inverse of -3/8 is, the answer is -8/3, since (-3/8) x (-8/3) = 1

The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.

The multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a certain number, and the product is itself, the number. So, the multiplicative inverse of 8 is of course, 1. For every number, the multiplicative number is 1, because a certain number times 1 is equal to the certain number. It's simple!!

Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal.

The multiplicative inverse of 31 is 1/31 because that's the answer!

That is the correct spelling of multiplicative inverse, also known as the reciprocal.

The additive inverse is the inverse under addition; the multiplicative inverse is the inverse under multiplication. For example, the additive inverse of any real or complex number is its negative: the inverse of 3 is -3 and vice versa. The multiplicative inverse of a number other than 0 (which has no such inverse) is its reciprocal: the inverse of 2 is 1/2, and vice versa. Adding a number and its additive inverse gives the additive identity, 0. Multiplying a number by its multiplicative inverse gives the multiplicative identity, 1.

The multiplicative inverse is also known as the reciprocal. The multiplicative inverse of a number "x" can be expressed as 1/x. In the case of a fraction, exchange numerator and denominator to get the multiplicative inverse.

No, the multiplicative inverse of any number is one divide by that number. Stated differently, the product (-54) x (its multiplicative inverse) should be 1.
