What is the Reciprocal of a Fraction?

The reciprocal of a fraction is just the fraction flipped — the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

For example:

• The reciprocal of $\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.
• The reciprocal of $\frac{5}{7}$ is $\frac{7}{5}$.

In simple words: Swap the top and bottom numbers.

And if you multiply a number by its reciprocal? You always get 1.
$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1$ — pretty neat, right?

• Working with proportions and ratios.

In short — if you deal with fractions, you will run into reciprocals.
