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.

Multiplying a number by its inverse equals a * (1/a) = 1. The a cancels out.
No, the inverse property of multiplication results in an answer of 1 when inverses are multiplied together. The reciprocal of a number represents the inverse of a number. When a number or term is multiplied by its reciprocal, the result is one. 4 x 1/4 = 1 a x 1/a = 1 5 and 1/5 illustrates the inverse property of multiplication.
The inverse property of addition says, "the sum of a number and its additive inverse is always zero."EXAMPLES:4 + (-4) = 08 + (-8) = 0
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
examples: a x -a=0

this is no Inverse property for multiplication

Some one please tell me what inverse property is!!

The inverse of division is multiplication

Commutative Property of Multiplication
Because you need to use inverse operations and the opposite of multiplication is division.
