Answer 1

The reciprocal of a number \( x \) is defined as \( \frac{1}{x} \).

Therefore, the reciprocal of 516 is:

\[
\frac{1}{516}
\]

Since none of the options provided directly show \( \frac{1}{516} \), it seems that the options may not accurately represent the reciprocal. However, if you're looking for the decimal or simplified form, keep in mind that the reciprocal itself remains \( \frac{1}{516} \).

To clarify any choice of answers based on the reciprocal alone:

1. **516** - This is not a reciprocal.
2. **5 Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction** - This is not relevant to the task.
3. **−165** - This is not a reciprocal.
4. **negative Start Fraction 16 over 5 End Fraction** - This is not relevant to the task.
5. **165** - This is not a reciprocal.
6. **Start Fraction 16 over 5 End Fraction** - This is not relevant to the task.
7. **−516** - This is not a reciprocal.

The correct answer is simply \(\frac{1}{516}\), which is not listed among the options.
