On the nonzero real numbers, sign reversal and reciprocation are commuting involutions. Their function composition generates exactly , , and . The relations and identify the group with , the Klein four-group. Its subgroups are the trivial group, its three order-two cyclic subgroups and itself. Excluding zero from the domain is necessary for all four transformations to be defined and invertible.
