A math question - How do you mathematically find the reciprocal of a number?

Rumi

I know the reciprical of 5/6 is 6/5, but is there some kind of mathematical formula you could use in the expression editor that could figure it out?

Game.Number = attribute
Self.reciprical = 1/game.number

That's for whole numbers. Basically for fractions, store the numerator and denominator in attributes and the. Reciprocal = denominator/numerator

Would this also apply for decimals?

0.2 = 2/10 = 1/5

1/0.2 = 5

Also, I might add a suggestion for http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Programming/pcalc/Freeware.htm

Thanks for the link and advice. I'll download it on my PC when I muster up the courage to see the lack of the aqua interace

Might I suggest attempting to run it in wine? I'll give it a go in a bit if you want.

Wineskin runs the app perfectly.
