Store the number in the memory with M. Then type 1, press division sign then press RM, then equals.

There are two ways of representing reciprocal depending on the model of the Casio.

My Casio has the "1/x" button:
Press 2/1 followed by "1/x"

For those that don't, there will be the "x^-1" (x to the power of -1) button:
Press 2/1 followed by "x^-1"

If it doesn't have either (which is unlikely), it will have the "x^y" button:
Press 2/1 followed by "x^y" then press "-1"

Either they'll be a button which says '1/x', which you can use, or alternatively you can go to all the effort of pressing the '1' button, and then the divide button instead.

(In case you didn't quite get that: the reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. So just typing 1, divide, number will work.)

You have either a x^-1 button or the button says 1/x. It may be a second function so look hard.

if you have an 'Ans' button just put in 1/Ans. or, if your calculator is like mine, there's a reciprocal button in the top left corner.

take the value an either raise it by ^-1, will will flip the value upside down. or press your value, then press the x^-1 button, if you have one.
