# Reciprocal (1/x)

Menu Path : **Operator > Math > Arithmetic > Reciprocal (1/x)**

The **Reciprocal** Operator calculates the result of dividing 1 by the input value. For example, an input of (0.2, 2, -5) outputs (5, 0.5, -0.2).

This Operator accepts a number of input values of various types. For the list of types this Operator can use, see [Available Types](#available-types). The **Reciprocal** Operator will always return a value in the same type as its input.
