A thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm and a thin concave lens of focal length 4 cm are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification m1m_{1}m1​ when an object is placed 10 cm before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of convex lens and object undisturbed a gap of 1 cm is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away, which lead to a change in magnification of total lens system to m2m_{2}m2​. The value of ∣m1m2∣\left|\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}\right|​m2​m1​​​ is ____\_\_\_\_____.
