Answer:

The multiplicative inverse is 2

Explanation:

In mathematics, we call the number 1 the multiplicative identity because if we multiple any number by 1, we get that same number as our answer. A multiplicative inverse of a number, x, is a number y, such that if we multiply x times y, then we get the multiplicative identity. That is, x × y = 1.
