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.

1/72 A multiplicative inverse is what you multiply a number by to make the product equal one.
it means reciprocal, the number that multiplies by the original number to get a product of 1. The multiplicative inverse is always 1/x; x=5, then the multiplicative inverse is 1/5. If x=1/2 or .5, the multiplicative inverse is 1/.5, which is also 2.
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.
