## ÷ Reciprocal

One-argument form See also two-argument form Divide

Gives the reciprocal of the right-hand argument, that is, the result of dividing 1 by each number in the right-hand argument.

                 ÷2                      (Reciprocal of 2, ie 1 divided by 2)
           0.5
                 ÷10 5 1 ¯1              (Reciprocal of each number in a vector)
           0.1 0.2 1 ¯1
                 ÷.5 .25 .01             (Reciprocal of each number in a vector)
           2 4 100
                 ÷(2 2½1 2 4 5)(÷¼4)     (Reciprocal of each element in the vector)
            1                 0.5              1 2 3 4
            0.25              0.2

If the right argument contains a zero, APLX will generate a `DOMAIN ERROR`.
