No, they aren't. However, if you reverse the question 2a=18, (2 times 'A' equals 18, 'A' being the variable) You can find out that A=9, because 18 divided by 2 = 9. Or, even easier, 2 times what equals 18? If you know your multiplication facts you'd know the only possible answer is 9, or it could even be something as complicated as A= 9x4dividedby9+2-2. But all-in-all, the only possible answer can only be 9, because in the 2 times table, only 2x9 can equal 18. So in conclusion, let me explain this simpler, Multiplication and Division are complete opposites, but in some ways can be related... Hopefully this answers your question.

How are the rules for multiplication and division integers the same?
They are not the same!The set of integers is closed under multiplication but not under division.Multiplication is commutative, division is not.Multiplication is associative, division is not.
What is different between multiplication and division of vector by a number?
There is no real difference between the two operations. Division by a scalar (a number) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal. Thus, division by 14 is the same as multiplication by (1/14).
How is multiplication and division the same?
They are not the same: they are similar. Division is the inverse operation. Division by x (where x is non-zero) is the same as multiplication by (1/x). So the operations are related but that does not make them the same.
I am operations that undo each other like multiplication and division?
Operations that undo each other include: addition and subtraction multiplication and division powers and roots
What is the answer of a multiplicaton problem called?
Division is the same thing as multiplication
