8 is 8/1. Turn that fraction around and you get 1/8, the reciprocal.
To find the reciprocal of a number, you simply divide 1 by that number. In the case of finding the reciprocal of 8, you divide 1 by 8.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by writing down the fraction 1/8.
2. To divide a fraction, you flip the numerator and the denominator. So, the reciprocal of 8 is 8/1.
3. Simplify the fraction if needed. In this case, the fraction is already in its simplest form, so the reciprocal of 8 is 8/1, which can also be written as just 8.
So, the reciprocal of 8 is 8.
