∙ 11y agoThis may refer to the additive inverse, or to the multiplicative inverse.
To find the additive opposite (negative) of a number multiply it by -1
The only number without an opposite is 0.
To find the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal), make the number the numerator of a fraction (e.g., the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3).
The additive inverse of 4 is minus 4 (the idea is to have two numbers that add up to zero), whereas the multiplicative inverse of 4 is 1/4 (the idea is to have two numbers whose product is 1).
