Answer:

A multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal. ... A reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1. For example, if we have the number 7, the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, would be 1/7 because when you multiply 7 and 1/7 together, you get 1!

Answer:

What you multiply by a number to get 1

Example: 8 Ă— (1/8) = 1

In other words: when we multiply a number by its "Multiplicative Inverse" we get 1.

But not when the number is 0 because 1/0 is undefined!

Hope that helps! :) Thanks for the pointss.
