How do you divide fractions without reciprocals?
Using reciprocals, a/b divided by c/d is the same as a/b times d/c. If you multiply this, you get ad/bc.Without thinking about this as reciprocals, you can do this multiplication directly, cross-multiplication so to speak.
Two numbers whose product is 1 are called?
Two numbers with a product of 1 are called reciprocals. If you have a number and want to find the reciprocal of it, simply divide 1 by the number. For example, the reciprocal of 5 is 1/5, and the reciprocal of 700 is 1/700.
What happens when you multiply or divide by a negative?
the answer becomes negative
Why you take reciprocals of intercepts for finding miller indices?
Using reciprocals spares us the complication of infinite intercepts.Formulas involving Miller indices are very similar to related formulas from analytical geometry.
How are 20 divided by 5 and 5 divided by 20 related?
Well, isn't that just a happy little coincidence! When you divide 20 by 5, you get 4. And when you divide 5 by 20, you get 0.25. Even though the numbers are different, they are related by being reciprocals of each other. Just like how a happy little tree has its roots connected to the earth, these numbers are connected through division.
