-2 (negative two) The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) for a number x is 1/x.
-2/3 -> [mult.inverse] -> -3/2 which is -1½or -1.5 ; note that a number, when multiplied by its multiplicative inverse will have a product of 1. So if you multiply these two you get 6/6 which equals 1 [negative times negative is positive].
25/6 = 17/6 so the multiplicative inverse is 6/17.
multiplicative inverse
Let A and B be any two numbers such that AB=1. An example would be 1 and 1/9.We say that A is the multiplicative inverse of B. Similarly we say that B is the multiplicative inverse of A.
-2 (negative two) The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) for a number x is 1/x.
-22/5 = -12/5 So the multiplicative inverse is -5/12
-2/3 -> [mult.inverse] -> -3/2 which is -1½or -1.5 ; note that a number, when multiplied by its multiplicative inverse will have a product of 1. So if you multiply these two you get 6/6 which equals 1 [negative times negative is positive].
If the multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you could multiply with the original number in order to obtain one, then the mulitplicative inverse of -15 and 2/3 is -3/47 negative three fourtysevenths, or negative three over fourtyseven.
The multiplicative inverse of a number (other than zero) is the number such that the product of the two is 1. Thus, the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
25/6 = 17/6 so the multiplicative inverse is 6/17.
There is no multiplicative inverse of 0. By definition, when you multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse, the product is 1. However, when you multiply 0 by anything, the product is 0. Those two statements could not logically co-exist if there were any multiplicative inverse of 0, so there is no such thing.

The multiplicative inverse for the number x is the number 1/x, such that their product is 1. The name for a multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal (opposite).The multiplicative inverse of a fraction is found by making the numerator the denominator and the denomination the numerator, such that the reciprocal of 3/4 would be 4/3. You are simply "flipping the fraction over."Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse, or reciprocal.Example: 6 divided by 2/3 = 6 times 3/2 = 18/2 = 9so that are 9 two-thirds sections in 6 wholes.
Multiplicative inverses are two numbers whose product is one.Another name for multiplicative inverse is reciprocal. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. 2/3 X 3/2 = 6/6 = 1. The multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7. 7 X 1/7 = 7/7 = 1.
Opposites in math are called inverses. There are two of these inverses: an additive and a multiplicative. The additive inverse of a number is that number multiplied by -1. If this is added to the number, then the result will be 0. The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal. This is the number converted into a fraction then flipped. If you multiply a number with its multiplicative inverse, the result will be 1.
