When a given number is multiplied with another number, the number whose product is equal to 1 is called the reciprocal of the original number. For example, 1/2 is the reciprocal of 2. 5/3 is the reciprocal of 3/5, and the reciprocal of -3 is -1/3. For a fraction, the fraction with the numerator and denominator swapped is the reciprocal of the original number. The reciprocal of the reciprocal of a number is the original number. There is no reciprocal of 0.

ある数が与えられたとき、それとの積が1に等しくなるような数を、もとのある数の逆数という。たとえば、2に対して1/2がその逆数である。また、5/3は3/5の逆数であり、-3の逆数は-1/3である。分数に対しては、その分子と分母を取り替えた分数が、もとの数の逆数である。ある数の逆数の、そのまた逆数はもとの数になる。0の逆数は存在しない。
