tau huripoki

1. (noun) reciprocal.

Ko te tau huripoki: Ko te huringa o tētahi hautau kia noho mai te tauraro ki runga, ko te taurunga ki raro. Ina whakawehea te kotahi ki tētahi tau, ka hua ko te tau huripoki o taua tau. Kāore i te hāngai tēnei tikanga mehemea ko te kore te taurunga, te tauraro rānei (TRP 2010:270). / Reciprocal: The reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction obtained by interchanging the numerator and the denominator. If one is divided by a number, the result is the reciprocal of that number. This does not apply if the numerator or denominator is zero (TRP 2010:270).
