प्रश्न
By what number should 5−1 be multiplied so that the product may be equal to (−7)−1?
उत्तर
Using the property a−1 = 1/a for every natural number a, we have 5−1 = 1/5 and (−7)−1 = −1/7. We have to find a number x such that \[\frac{1}{5} \times x = \frac{- 1}{7}\] Multiplying both sides by 5, we get:
Hence, the required number is −5/7.
