The number 1 is a number that is equal to its reciprocal 1.

For future references, a reciprocal is like the inverse of a number.

Example: 10 is 10/1. So, the reciprocal is 1/10. The choices are endless.

Answer:

1 and -1

1 and -1 are the reciprocals which are equal to their reciprocals.

Reference:

Reciprocal is the multiplicative inverse of a number, i.e. when you multiply a number with its reciprocal, you will get 1 which is the multiplicative identity.

Eg: Reciprocal of 7 / 2 is 2 / 7.

Hope the answer helped you!!
