I am not sure about the question, but
If 1/4 is a number then (1)/(1/4) which ends up being 4 is its reciprocal.
Any number "N" has a reciprocal equal to 1/N and when you multiply the two as in N x 1/N, you will always get 1, that is a number multiplied by its reciprocal will always yield 1. Given one number you can find the other by dividing 1 by the given number

What is a reciprocal in math fractions?
A reciprocal is when you take the second fraction in a division problem and flip it Then change the sign to multiply. THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU ARE DIVIDING FRACTIONS!
What is the reciprocal of -p over 4?
Reciprocal just means that you flip the fraction... your fraction is -p/4 the reciprocal is 4/-p the reciprocal is extremely important when dividing fractions. because when you divide fractions you have to take the reciprocal of the bottom fraction and then multiply it to your top fraction to get your answer.
What is the inverse of operation mean?
It is a second operation that "undoes" the first.For example, the inverse of "add 2" is "subtract 2";the inverse of "divide by 7" is "multiply by 7";the inverse of "take the reciprocal" is "take the reciprocal".

"Of" usually means that you have to multiply, not divide. To multiply, you don't take the reciprocal.
What is the reciprocal of a negative fraction?
Answer: -a/b is a fraction, its reciprocal is -b/a Why: Let's look at what reciprocal does. Take a fraction like 1/3 and its reciprocal is 3 . That is 1/ (1/3) and if we multiply the number by its reciprocal we get one. So now take -1/3. The question is whether the reciprocal is 3 or -3. If we multiply - 1/3 by 3 we have -1 and if we multiply it by -3 we have 1. The reciprocal of a positive or negative fraction is obtained by switching its numerator and denominator, the sign of the new fraction remains the same. So the answer is -3 and just as with positive fractions, we have the number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1

When multiplying a nonzero fraction by its reciprocal the product is call?
When you multiply a nonzero fraction by its reciprocal you get 1. Take this example.Lets say you have a fraction called (a/b). The reciprocal of that fraction would be (b/a). If you multiply the two you'd get (a/b)*(b/a)=(ab/ab). Anything divided by itself is 1.
Why is you impossible divide fractions?
Me is actually not impossible divide fractions. You just take the reciprocal of the dividend and multiply.
