How do you determine the multiplicative inverse of a number?

The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal, meaning the multiplicative inverse of the rational number a/b is b/a. In the specialized case for integers, the multiplicative inverse of n is 1/n. This is due to the fact that a/b * b/a = 1 and n * 1/n = 1, which is the definition of a multiplicative inverse. More succinctly, to find the multiplicative inverse you "flip" the fraction or integer around to its reciprocal. This is the number that when multiplied with the original number results in a product of 1.

How do you find the multiplicative inverse of whole number and a fraction?

I guess you mean a mixed fraction, such as 5 2/3, which basically means 5 + 2/3. To get the multiplicative inverse, you must first convert the fraction to an improper fraction (in this example, 17/3). Then, to get the multiplicative inverse, you exchange top and bottom (in this example, 3/17). Note that to do the conversion, I multiplied 5 x 3, and added 2 to the result. This number (17) goes into the numerator (top); the denominator (bottom) doesn't change.


What thought process would you use when trying to find the additive or multiplication inverse of a number or expression?

Additive inverse: change all signs. Multiplicative inverse: flip it over.
