For instance, if m x n = 1, then n is the reciprocal of m and vice versa

m = 1/n and n = 1/m

It is important to know that zero does not have any reciprocal

m = -⅔ then n = 1/(-⅔) = -3/2

-⅔ X -3/2 = 1

As the product is 1, it is the reciprocal of one another.

Therefore, when asked What is the reciprocal of -⅔? then the answer will be that the reciprocal of -⅔ is -3/2.
