Flip the number upside down. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes numerator.

# 1/22# becomes # 22/1# as the reciprocal .

# 1/22 xx 22/1 = 1#

A number multiplied by its reciprocal is always equal to 1 .

(The reciprocal is also called the multiplicative inverse.)

22

You just have to flip #\frac {1} {22}# which gives you 22. When you multiply #\frac {1} {22}# and 22, you must get 1.
