The answer depends on whether you mean the multiplicative opposite, the additive opposite or another form of opposite. Since that is not specified, there can be no sensible answer.

What is the definition of opposite numbers?

The additive opposite of a positive is a negative, and the opposite of a negative is a positive. If you reverse the sign twice (opposite of opposite) you have the original number. The same applies to an inverse (multiplicative opposite): the inverse of any inverse for a nonzero number is the original number. n (1/n)(n) = n

What is an opposite in a math term?

Additive OppositeAn opposite of a number is the number with the opposite sign, but same absolute value.Basically, 3 has the opposite -3, -47's opposite is 47 (opposite of n is -n).Just take 0-(n) where n is the number in question (there is no opposite for 0).Usually it means the opposite sign -- if originally positive, the opposite is a negative; if originally negative, the opposite is positive.Multiplicative OppositeThe reciprocal of a number n is 1/n so that multiplication or division by a number is the inverse (division or multiplication) using its reciprocal.Example : 7 divided by 1/3 is equal to 7 times 3 = 21 (there are 21 one-thirds in 7).By itself, nothing. There are different meanings in different contexts.
