You are a quality assurance technician reviewing a training manual on calculating relative error tolerances. The manual demonstrates the simplification of the complex fraction 1x+1y1x1y\frac{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}}{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}}. The guide states that after combining the internal fractions to rewrite the expression as the division problem y+xxy÷yxxy\frac{y+x}{xy} \div \frac{y-x}{xy}, the next procedural step is to change the division operation to multiplication by using the ____ of the second fraction.
