The process of determining the reciprocal of a number entails the division of 1 by the said number. Take for instance the number 5, its reciprocal would be 1/5. When dealing with fractions, the process is slightly different. You simply interchange the numerator and the denominator to find the reciprocal. So, if you have 3/4, the reciprocal would be 4/3. Reciprocals play a significant role in various mathematical operations, particularly division and equation solving.
