How to Use the Inverse Calculator

This Inverse Calculator is designed to help you compute both the multiplicative and additive inverses of a given number. It also verifies your results by showing that the product of the number and its multiplicative inverse equals one. Follow the step-by-step guide below to use the calculator effectively.

Step 1: Enter the Number

  • Locate the input field labeled Enter Number.
  • Input the number for which you need the inverse calculations. Ensure that the number is not zero, as the multiplicative inverse of zero is undefined.
  • The input field accepts numbers ranging from -999999999 to 999999999. Enter any number within this range.

Step 2: Select Decimal Places

  • Find the input field labeled Decimal Places.
  • Select the precision level desired for your results. You can choose from 2 to 5 decimal places.
  • This selection determines the number of decimal places that will be used in formatting your results.

Step 3: Review the Results

  • After providing the necessary inputs, review the results displayed in the following fields:
  • Multiplicative Inverse (Reciprocal): This field shows the reciprocal of the entered number, calculated as 1 divided by the number. The result is formatted to the selected number of decimal places.
  • Additive Inverse (Negative): This field presents the additive inverse, which is simply the negative of the entered number. Like the multiplicative inverse, it is formatted to the chosen decimal precision.
  • Verification (Original × Inverse = 1): This field confirms the accuracy of the multiplicative inverse by showing the product of the original number and its reciprocal, which should equal 1. This value is also formatted to the specified decimal places.

Final Considerations

Ensure that all input fields are correctly filled for the calculator to return accurate results. Double-check the entered number and selected decimal precision before proceeding. By understanding and following each step outlined in this guide, you will maximize the utility of the Inverse Calculator and achieve precise calculations effectively.
