Properties of Division
* Division is the inverse operation to multiplication.
* A number divided to itself is equal to 1
*Zero property - Zero divided by any number is equal to 0
*Division by zero is undefined
Distribution
(a + b)/3 = a/3 + b/3 but 3/ (a + b) =/= 3/a + 3/b

Properties of division are the same as the properties of multiplication with one exception. You can never divide by zero. This is because in some advanced math courses division is defined as multiplication by the Multiplicative Inverse, and by definition zero does not have a Multiplicative Inverse.
Multiplication, division, subtraction, addition
Subtraction and addition are not properties of numbers themselves: they are operators that can be defined on sets of numbers.
well the multiplacation proprties are: communitive property, identity property, zero property, and sorry i dont know the 4th one :/ :) ;) :( [[nyan cat love]]
The multiplication property allows you to multiply both sides of an equation by any non-zero constant without affecting the solutions to the equation. In this context, division by any number (other than 0) is equally valid. These two properties are equivalent in the sense that dividing through by any non-zero number x is the same as multiplying through by 1/x. These properties can be used to change the coefficients of the variables in simultaneous equations. The modified equations can then be added or subtracted together to eliminate one or more of the variables - provided at least one variable is left.
