Multiplication is the reverse operation of?
Division
How do you know that a multiplication fact is correct?
There are a few ways to determine if a multiplication fact is correct:Repeated addition: since multiplication is simply repeated addition at its base, you can reaffirm a multiplication fact by repeatedly adding the number you're multiplying. With the basic multiplication facts (i.e. times tables), this is possibly the best option.Division: Since it's simply the reverse of multiplication, then you can just reverse the process to confirm it.Using multiple methods: There are multiple ways to do multiplication than just the usual long multiplication done in school, such as lattice multiplication, and Ayurvedic multiplication (just to name the two I know). You can use these to confirm a multiplication.
What is the defionition of inverse?
It is the reverse of the action Ex. Addition is the inverse of subtration multiplication is the inverse of division
Can you reverse the order of integers when subtracting and still get the same answer why?
No because the commutative property only works for addition and multiplication
Why is it important to know the reverse process of multiplication?
To cross-check that a multiplication is correct as for example if 7*8 = 56 then the reverse process of division must be correct as 56/7 = 8 or 56/8 = 7
