When multiplication is defined over some domains, for every non-zero element X, in the domain, there exists a unique element Y, also in the domain such that X*Y = Y*X = 1 where 1 is the multiplicative identity. Such a value Y is written as X-1 or 1/X.

Note that a multiplicative inverse need not exist. For example, the set of integers is closed under multiplication, but most elements do not have an inverse within the set.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
