17 + 0 = 17 additive identity property....which basically states if u add a number to 0, it results in the original number ============== -16 * -1 = -16 multiplicative identity property...which basically states if u multiply a number by 1, it results in the original number ============== 10 * 1/10 = 1 inverse property of multiplication...which states that any number multiplied by its reciprocal will equal 1. The reciprocal of a number can be found by just flipping the number. examples : 10 (or 10/1)...its reciprocal is 1/10 4/5...its reciprocal is 5/4 -2 (or -2/1)...its reciprocal is -1/2
