Beginning with an integer \(n,\) Jake goes through the following steps:
1. Take the reciprocal of the starting number.
2. Double the number obtained in Step \(1\).
3. Take the reciprocal of the number obtained in Step \(2\).
At the end of the third step, Jake ends up with the number \(16.\) What number did Jake start with?
杰克从整数 \(n\) 开始,依次进行下列操作:
1. 求出起始数字的倒数。
2. 将第 1 步得到的数乘以 \(2\)。
3. 求出第 2 步所得数字的倒数。
完成第三步后,杰克得到数字 \(16\)。请问杰克一开始的数字是多少?
