No, that's not true. In standard mathematical operations, multiplication and division have the same level of precedence and are performed from left to right as they appear in an expression. This means that if multiplication and division are present in the same expression, you evaluate them in the order they occur.
Multiplication has higher precedence than addition and subtraction in mathematics to establish a consistent order of operations. This hierarchy ensures that complex expressions are evaluated uniformly, preventing ambiguity in calculations. By prioritizing multiplication, we can simplify expressions and maintain clarity in mathematical communication. This convention helps in solving equations accurately and efficiently.
In many programming languages, the operator "has higher precedence than" is not a standard phrase, but if you are referring to specific operators (like * vs. +), then yes, multiplication typically has higher precedence than addition. However, for a precise answer, the specific operators being compared must be clarified, as precedence rules can vary between different programming languages. Always consult the documentation for the specific language you are using.
Well, actually, division is just multiplication in reverse. Take 21 divided by 3 for example, and 7 times 3 is 21, so 7 is the answer for division. Try some new numbers and you'll get it! I've mastered division, so will you.
The answer will depend on the two units. It will entail multiplication by a number that is greater than 1 (or division by a number smaller than 1).
The answer to a multiplication problem represents the total of adding a certain number (the multiplier) to itself a specified number of times (the multiplicand). In contrast, the answer to a division problem indicates how many times one number (the divisor) can fit into another (the dividend). Generally, multiplication yields a larger number than the corresponding division, except when dealing with 1 or 0. For example, multiplying two positive integers results in a product greater than either integer, while dividing yields a smaller quotient.
Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses. For example, multiplication and division have a higher priority (or precedence) than addition and subtraction.Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses.

Division is the inverse operation to multiplication. Division by a number (other than zero) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
Expressions are evaluated according to the language grammar. Operator precedence and associativity are derived from the grammar in order to aid our understanding, however the order of evaluation is independent of both because the C language standard does not specify operator precedence. The general arithmetic rules of precedence hold for most expressions such that parenthesised operations take precedence over orders followed by multiplication/division operations and finally addition/subtraction operations (as per the PODMAS acronym). Many of the more complex expressions we encounter can generally be evaluated according to the operator precedence table, which includes the associativity, such that operations with higher precedence are bound more tightly (as if with parenthesis) than those with lower precedence.
Mathematical operators have the standard precedence: parenthesis (brackets), orders (powers), multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. x + y * z implies x + (y * z) because multiplication has higher precedence than addition. When two operators have the same precedence (such as addition and subtraction), they are evaluated left to right. Thus x - y + z implies (x - y) + z.

The logical OR operator can be compared to ____ in terms of precedence.
You cannot overrule precedence in C, however you can use the rules of precedence themselves to dictate the order of evaluation. Parenthesis has the highest precedence therefore you can use them to change the order of evaluation. Consider the following function: void foo (int x, int y, int z) { int a, b; a = x + y * z; b = (x + y) * z; } Multiplication has a higher precedence than addition so given the values x=2, y=3 and z=4, the value of a will be 14. Parenthesis has a higher precedence than multiplication so given the same values, the value of b will be 20. Note that you haven't actually overruled precedence, you've simply used the rules of precedence themselves to dictate the order of evaluation.
Precedence rules specify priority of operators (which operators will be evaluated first, e.g. multiplication has higher precedence than addition, PEMDAS).The associativity rules tell how the operators of same precedence are grouped. Arithmetic operators are left-associative, but the assignment is right associative (e.g. a = b = c will be evaluated as b = c, a = b).
The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. The inverse multiplication by a number other than 0 is division. Multiplication by 0 does not have an inverse operation.

MDAS (Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
Some examples will provide a better understanding than a definition. We say addition is the opposite operation of subtraction and subtraction is the opposite operation of division. Also multiplication is the opposite operation of division and division is the opposite of multiplication. examples:5+5=10 10-5=5 <-- opposite operation
