What is $\frac 1 n$ called?

1.1k Views Asked by At

I have forgotten the name of this, and Google is not helpful (I've even tried searching "1 divided by n" and the answer has not come up).

What is it called when you have a number, $n$, and perform $\dfrac{1}{n}$?

This is a silly question, but I've been trying to recall it's name for about an hour now and cannot remember... thanks!
