For a nonzero element x of the type Real, the reciprocal x⁻¹ is the element whose set is the reciprocal of x in ℝ; it satisfies x·x⁻¹ = 1, x⁻¹ ≠ 0 and (x⁻¹)⁻¹ = x, and 0 ≠ 1.
In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, with the type of The Real Numbers as a Type (i) and its operations and numerals as in The Real Numbers as a Type (ii) and The Real Numbers as a Type (iii): for in , the reciprocal is the element of whose set (as in The Real Numbers as a Type (i)) is the reciprocal of in ; this reciprocal lies in and satisfies (Negatives, Reciprocals and the Strict Order in an Ordered Field, as Values (ii)). In Lean the reciprocal is .
