The equation \( 8 \times \frac{1}{8} = 1 \) illustrates the Multiplicative Inverse Property. This property states that for any non-zero number \(a\), there exists a number \( \frac{1}{a} \) (the reciprocal) such that \( a \times \frac{1}{a} = 1 \). Here, \( 8 \) and \( \frac{1}{8} \) are multiplicative inverses, and their product equals \( 1 \).
Name the property the equation illustrates.
