A reciprocal fraction is when you take the entire fraction to the -1st power, essentially having one be divided by whatever fraction you chose--in other, more simpler words, just flip the numerator and denominator.

So the reciprocal of 2/3 would be 3/2, of 5/107 107/5. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 because although 2 isn't a fraction, we can make it a fraction by rewriting it as 2/1.
