The additive inverse of a number is what you would add to that number to get zero. For 3, the additive inverse is -3. The multiplicative inverse is what you would multiply by to get one; for 3, the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ). Thus, the additive inverse of 3 is -3, and the multiplicative inverse is ( \frac{1}{3} ).

How do you turn 5 and three sevenths into a multiplicative and a additive inverse?
First convert it into an improper fraction: 5 3/7 becomes 38/7. This is clear because "5" is simply "35/7" (do the math yourself) and 35/7 + 3/7 = 38/7. Additive inverse means "negative." Thus, the "additive inverse" of 38/7 is -38/7. This is true because 38/7 added to -38/7 is 0. That is the definition of an additive inverse. Multiplicative inverse means "reciprocal." Thus, the "multiplicative inverse" of 38/7 is 7/38. This is true because 38/7 multiplied by 7/38 is 266/266, or 1. That is the definition of multiplicative inverse.
What is the multiplicative inverse of 3 and a half?
3 and a half = 7/2 so its multiplicative inverse is 2/7.
Is the multiplicative inverse of a rational number an integer?
No, it is not. 3/5 is rational and its multiplicative inverse is 5/3 which is not an integer.
What is the multiplicative inverse of -3 17?
-17/3
Multiplicative inverse of -3?
The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third. The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3. Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3. The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.
What is product additive inverse and multiplicative inverse for each number of -3?

How do you turn 5 and 3-7ths into a multiplicative and a additive inverse?
38/7 x 7/38 = 1 = multiplicative inverse 38/7 + -38/7 = 0 = additive inverse
What is the sum of the additive identity and the multiplicative inverse of 2?

What is the difference between multiplicative inverse and additive inverse?
The multiplicative inverse of a non-zero element, x, in a set, is an element, y, from the set such that x*y = y*x equals the multiplicative identity. The latter is usually denoted by 1 or I and the inverse of x is usually denoted by x-1 or 1/x. y need not be different from x. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 1 is 1, that of -1 is -1.The additive inverse of an element, p, in a set, is an element, q, from the set such that p+q = q+p equals the additive identity. The latter is usually denoted by 0 and the additive inverse of p is denoted by -p.
What is the meaning of inverse elements?
an inverse element that can 'undo' the effect of combination with another element. For example if we look at the number 3, -3 is its additive inverse since 3+(-3)=0 and zero is the additive identity element. Similarly 1/3 is the multiplicative inverse since 1/3 x 3=1 and 1 is the multiplicative identity.
