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
