Solution:

Let the integer = x

Then reciprocal = 1/x

According to Question

x + 1/x = 145/12

=> (x2+1)/x = 145/12

=> 12x2 + 12 = 145x

=> 12x- 145x + 12 = 0

=> 12x2- 144x - x + 12 = 0

=> 12x(x - 12) - 1(x - 12) = 0

=> (x - 12)(12x - 1) = 0

=> x = 12 and x = 1/12

as X is integer x can't be 1/12

Therefore the required integer is 12

Let the integer be x.

x + 1/x = 145/12

12x2 - 145x + 12 = 0

12x2 - 144x - x + 12 = 0

12x(x - 12) - 1(x - 12) = 0

(x - 12)(12x - 1) = 0

x = 12 and x = 1/12

Therefore the required integer is 12.
