I think that the answer becomes 1 because lets say that your number was 24. The reciprocal of 24 = 1/24 and it you multiply 24/1 by 1/24 you get 24/24 = 1

(The reciprocal is a fraction flipped over i.e. bottom number becomes top and top number becomes bottom and with multiplying fractions, you just multiply all the tops and multiply all the bottoms.)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
