Reciprocal/Whole Numers: Explanation

Mathematical Definition : For any given number x, its reciprocal is a number which when multiplied by x gives '1' as result. In other words, reciprocal of 'x' is '1/x' since these two multiplied give '1'.
Example : if the given number is '5/6', its reciprocal would be '6/5'.

Whole Numbers : refer to the set {0,1,2,3...} that is, positive integer set union with '0'.
