Multiplicative Inverse of Rational Numbers
A Multiplicative Inverse of Rational Numbers is a number that when multiplied by the number results in 1. The general form of a rational number is p/q then its multiplicative inverse is q/p.
For example: For a rational number 2/3, then its multiplicative inverse is 3/2, such that,
2/3 × 3/2 = 1
Rational Numbers
Rational Numbers: A rational number is a type of real number expressed as p/q, where q ≠ 0. Any fraction with a non-zero denominator qualifies as a rational number. Examples include 1/2, 1/5, 3/4, and so forth. Additionally, the number 0 is considered a rational number as it can be represented in various forms such as 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, etc.
