Question

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is$:$

Answer 1

The multiplicative inverse of a number is a reciprocal of a number.

The reciprocal of $x$ is $\frac{1}{x}$

Let us assume the number as $12$

The multiplicative inverse is $\frac{1}{12}$

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is $=12\times \frac{1}{12}$

$=1$

Hence$,$ the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is $1$.
