The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal, meaning the multiplicative inverse of the rational number a/b is b/a. In the specialized case for integers, the multiplicative inverse of n is 1/n. This is due to the fact that a/b * b/a = 1 and n * 1/n = 1, which is the definition of a multiplicative inverse.
More succinctly, to find the multiplicative inverse you "flip" the fraction or integer around to its reciprocal. This is the number that when multiplied with the original number results in a product of 1.

Is the multiplicative inverse of -54 ... 54?
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. (-54) x (54) is NOT equal to 1.The correct multiplicative inverse is -1/54.No, the multiplicative inverse of any number is one divide by that number.

Multiplicative inverse of a negative number?
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
What is the multiplication inverse of any number?
The multiplicative inverse of a number is : 1/number i.e., one divided by the number. This doesn't apply to zero. Zero has no multiplicative inverse.
Is 7k plus 0 equals 7k a multiplicative identity?
No because 0 is additive inverse the multiplicative inverse of a number is when you multiply that number by the m. inverse and still get that number.
What is the multiplicative inverse for 5340?
Another name for multiplicative inverse is reciprocal. Basically, you write the number as a fraction and you reverse the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the multiplicative inverse is 1/5340.
