It's basically the same concept. Like subtraction is the opposite of addition, and division is the opposite of multiplication. Just the reverse. Kind of hard to explain.... ask your teacher!

Neither are commutative: a - b does not equal b - a, and a/b does not equal b/a.

Neither is associative: (a - b) - c does not equal a - (b - c), and (a/b)/c does not equal a/(b/c).
