Let be a positive integer and let be a set of distinct positive integers. The matrix having the reciprocal th power of the greatest common divisor (GCD) of and as its -entry is called reciprocal th power GCD matrix defined on . In this paper, we give the formula for the determinant of reciprocal th power GCD matrix if is a gcd-closed set (i.e. for all integers and with ). Moreover, we establish some results on the nonsingularity of reciprocal th power GCD matrix defined on certain classes of gcd-closed sets .
