In mathematics, the correct terminology is to say "multiply by" when indicating the operation of multiplication. This phrase signifies the action of using one number as a factor to increase the value of another number. Saying "multiply with" is not commonly used in mathematical contexts and may lead to confusion in communication.

What does it mean to say that multiplication and division are inverse operations?

Start with any number - say x. Pick any other number which is not 0, say y. Then, if you multiply x by y and then divide the result by y you will be back to x. Thus, "multiply by y" followed by "divide by y" is equivalent to do nothing. The first undoes the second. Also, it works in reverse in the sense that you can divide by y first and multiply by y afterwards.
