Find the Multiplicative Inverse

Find the Multiplicative Inverse of :

Solution : To find the multiplicative inverse of a number we need to understand its definition.

So a multiplicative inverse of a number is simply a value which when multiplied with the original number yields the answer as one. It can be intuitively thought of as a complete reciprocal of the original number.

For example the multiplicative inverse of 10 is 1/10 since on multiplying 10 with 1/10, the result is 1 and similarly the multiplicative inverse of 5 is 1/5 as 5 1/5 = 1.

Therefore in general, the multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x where x is any natural number.
