Reciprocal is a number that is opposite of another number. Let me give you a few examples because I might not have explained it well.
5. . .Reciprocal is 1/5
2/3. . .Reciprocal is 3/2
.5 (1/2). . .Reciprocal is 2
All you really do is flip the number to it's opposite. If it is not a fraction you just put the whole number under 1.

Simply, it is swapping around the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. (all numbers are fractions, they are just over one if it is not written)
