    To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator.

    Integers can be written as fractions:

    n = an integer

    n

    - - = n as a fraction

    1

    1

    - - = the reciprocal of n

    n

    Therefore, the number you are looking for is 5, because 5 + 1/5 < - - - which is the reciprocal of 5,

    = 5 1/5
