LammettHash

The reciprocal of a rational number a/b is its multiplicative inverse, 1/(a/b) = b/a. That is, by definition of multiplicative inverse,

a/b • 1/(a/b) = 1

Then

1/(a/b) = b/(a/b • b) = b/a

So, the reciprocal of 17/19 is simply 19/17.

hello!

In order to find the reciprocal of a number, we should flop it over.

Now, "flopping over" is not the same as "changing the sign"

If we have a fraction, and we're asked to find its reciprocal, then the numerator and denominator switch places.

Please consult the following formula for more details:-

[tex]\sf{The~reciprocal~of~a~is~\frac{1}{a} }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{The~reciprocal~of~\frac{a}{b} ~is~\frac{b}{a} }}[/tex]

According to the [tex]Reciprocal~formula[/tex], the reciprocal of [tex]\displaystyle\frac{17}{19}[/tex] is:-

[tex]\sf{\displaystyle\frac{19}{17} }[/tex]
