What is the reciprocal of 4?

As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of knowing the necessary vocabulary in math.  The word “reciprocal” is a term that is important to know when working with fractions.  Fractions are one of the 15 subtopics that I review for the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB.  I remind my students of the importance of knowing a variety of terms related to fractions: numerator, denominator, improper fraction, mixed number, and reciprocal, among others.  Do you know how to find the reciprocal of a whole number?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
