hello!

In order to find the reciprocal of a number, we should flop it over, like so:-


\sf{The~reciprocal~of~a~is~\displaystyle(1)/(a)}

According to the formula, the reciprocal of 5 is:-


\sf{\displaystyle(1)/(5)}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
