What is zero product property?

Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1.

What is the multiplicative inverse of 2 over 3?

2/3 and 3/2 are multiplicative inverses because they multiply to give you the multiplicative identity one.


How do you get the multiplicative inverse?

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.
