Is the multiplicative inverse of -54 ... 54?

In: Math and Arithmetic, Algebra [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, the multiplicative inverse of any number is one divide by that number. Stated differently, the product (-54) x (its multiplicative inverse) should be 1. (-54) x (54) is NOT equal to 1.

The correct multiplicative inverse is -1/54.
