reciprocals in English

noun
1
a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
Let's work out our problem using the reciprocal of the numerator fraction.
2
a pronoun or verb expressing mutual action or relationship, e.g., each other , fight.
