There is no such thing.
However, the multiplicative inverse of any non zero number, x, is (1/x).
The multiplicative inverse has the property that x*(1/x) = 1 = (1/x)*x.

The multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, of a number "x", is "1/x". For example, the multiplicative inverse of 5 is 1/5. For a fraction, just exchange numerator and denominator. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 2/5 is 5/2.

Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse operation of division. The word inverse means "opposite".
A number and its additive inverse add up to zero. If a number has no sign, add a "-" in front of it to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of 5 is -5. The additive inverse of x is -x. If a number has a minus sign, take it away to get its additive inverse. The additive inverse of -10 is 10. The additive inverse of -y is y.
Mathematically, an inverse is an opposite, it is something that reverses what its inverse does, for example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, as are multiplication and division. The inverse of a fraction is obtained by exchanging numerator and denominator; the inverse of a half is two.
