The product of a number and its reciprocal is__________

Open in App

Solution

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 $1$
