I.e., put the numerator in the denominator, and the denominator in the numerator. For example: The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7 The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 (/1). The technical mathematical definition of the reciprocal of x is: "The number which, when multiplied by x, gives one."
