You must divide 124 by 31 to get the answer, which is 4.
To check your answer, multiply 31 by 4, and the product will be 124.
Imagine instead that your equation is (124/10) * (31/10), or, all things being commutative in multiplication, (124 * 31) * (1/10 * 1/10) = (124 * 31) * (1/100) = (124 * 31) / 100. Multiply the first term, and you get 3844. Once you divide from there, you get 38.44.

124 ÷ 4 = 31
The result of multiplying 4x31 is equivalent to 124. This mathematical operation can also be expressed as 4 times 31 is equal to 124, or four times thirty one is equal to one hundred twenty four.
