Question

The equilibrium constant is given for one of the reactions below.  Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant.

            H2(g) + Br2(g)  ⇌  2HBr(g)     Kc = 3.8 × 104

            2HBr(g)  ⇌  H2(g) + Br2(g)     Kc =   ?

I don't understand how to get the kc? My answer is a decimal. I cannot figure this one out. Please help if able.

Thanks.
