What does the mathematical term ''Multiplicative Inverse'' mean?
The multiplicative inverse of a number (other than zero) is the number such that the product of the two is 1. Thus, the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x.
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.
What is one of two numbers whose product is 1 also called multiplicative inverse?

What is theReciprocal of two and three fifths?
A reciprocal (in mathematics) is the multiplicative inverse of any given number.This means the reciprocal of "1/x" would be "x/1".In the case where you have a mixed fraction like "two and three fifths", convert the mixed fraction into a improper fraction to make things easier.2 and 3/5 = 13/5Now flip the fraction:13/5 reciprocated = 5/13.Therefore, the reciprocal of "two and three fifths" is "thirteen fifths (13/5)"
How could you turn any fraction into one using a single multiplication operation?
A fraction can be expressed as two expressions, a and b, in the form a/b. The multiplicative inverse is b/a. Just flip the numerator and denominator. Multiplying the original and the result of this always gives one, which is the definition of the multiplicative inverse.
