You take its reciprocal, that is you divide 1 by the number. A rational number can be written as a fraction with integer values in both the numerator and denominator, j/k. The multiplicative inverse of a number is what you have to multiply by to get a product of 1. Putting these ideas together, the multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal, or k/j: (j/k) * (k/j) = 1.
So if you have a number z = a + bi. Then how to find 1 divided by z. The way to figure this is to get the denominator as a pure real number. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the complex conjugate {a - bi} will result in a pure real denominator.(a - bi)(a + bi) = a² + abi - abi - (bi)² = a² + b². So the multiplicative inverse is(a - bi)/(a² + b²)
You find the percentage equivalent and the round the result to the nearest whole number.
If the last number is divisible by 4 then the whole number is divisable by 4
The same process is used to find both. When it's a whole number, we call it the LCM. When the whole number is a denominator, we cal it the LCD.
