There is no name other than a reciprocal whole number.
Rules for dividing by a fraction are multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a unit fraction is a whole number. Multiplying by a whole number will make the answer (quotient) larger. ex unit fraction 1/a 7 divided by 1/a = 7 x a/1 = 7a .... a times larger than 7.
not a whole number maby a NEGITIVE
Generally, the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction will be greater than that whole number, because division is simply multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. For instance: 2 / (1/2) = 2 * (2/1)
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
put the #1 under the number to make it a fraction. then just switch them around Let's look at an example to help you understand this idea. 5 = 5/1 The reciprocal is just the fraction flipped over. In this case, 1/5 Thus, a whole number can always be shown as a fraction of itself over 1. The inverted fraction is the reciprocal of the whole number.
Multiply by the reciprocal.
Not just every whole number. Every number has a reciprocal, even 0. The reciprocal of 0 is undefined.
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
Yes. For example, if you have 1/3, the reciprocal would be 3.
A reciprocal, perhaps.
It is called the reciprocal of a fraction when the fraction is turned upside down.To find reciprocal of a mixed number, convert the whole number to the fraction and create an improper fraction: 22/4 becomes 10/4 and the reciprocal is 4/10
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
