Question

Find the multiplicative inverse of $\frac{1}{8}$ ?

Answer 1

Multiplicative inverse: The multiplicative inverse of a number is defined as when a number is multiplied by its original number, it gives the product as $1$. (i,e. Multiplicative inverse is reciprocal of the given number )

Let us consider the number $a$ then the multiplicative inverse of the number is $\frac{1}{a}$.

According to the question,

The given value is $\frac{1}{8}$

So, multiplicative inverse of $\frac{1}{8}$ will be $\frac{1}{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}}}$

Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of $\frac{1}{8}$ is $8$.
