Can a multiplicative be divided?
No. A "multiplicative" is an adjective, not a noun. For example a multiplicative inverse, or a multiplicative relationship, or multiplicative model. It is not a number and cannot be divided.
What number is multiplicative identity and why?
The number 1 is the multiplicative identity. What this means is that if you multiply a number by 1, that number is unchanged (the result is equal to the original number).
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.

How do you determine the multiplicative inverse of a number?
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.
What does the word multiplicative identity mean in math?
Multiplicative Identity states that the product of any number and one is the number itself.
