If you multiply the divisor by the quotient you should get the original number. For example, if I want to check 10/2 =5. I multiply the divisor 2 by the quotient 5 and check to see if it gives me back my original number, 10. 2*5 =10 so 5 was the correct quotient.
Alternatively if you divide the original number by the quotient you should get the divisor. In the above example, that would be 10/5=2.
For example: 28 divided by 4 You think the answer is 7. Use multiplication to check. Use the quotient (7) and multiply with the divisor (4 the one outside of the house. 7 x 4 = 28. The quotient 7 is correct.
we can multiply the divisor & the quotient to find the dividend
you use multiply the divisor times the quotient & it should equal the dividend.
to ensure and re-check your work you use the opposite signs (addition & subtractions, multiplication & division) e.g. __= blank 10+ _ = 12 _=2 to check: you take the answer (in this case 12) and subtract (because its the opposite of addition) by the blank you filled in (2 in this case. therefore, 12-2=10 so we know its correct :-)

To use multiplication to check the quotient, you multiply the quotient by the divisor given! For instance: 6 / 2 = 3 Then, to check that 3 is the quotient of 6 and 2, multiply 3 by 2 to get 3 x 2 = 6.

Dividend divided by divisor equals quotient. If you multiply the quotient by the divisor, you should get the dividend. 18/9 = 2 2 x 9 = 18 Just reverse your steps.
reverse division
You can use multiplication to check a quotient because, if you think about it, division is like algebra with multiplication.Lets say you have the problem 49/749/7 is 7, right? So you check by taking the answer (7) and the divisor (7) and multiply it to check.Does 7x7=49? Yes, it does!The quotient is right if you multiply the divisor by the quotient and get the dividend.Another example for your benefit:153/3You do the calculations wrong, but you are smart enough to check to find out you did this.Lets say you think that 153/3=13.You check by doing: 13x3.When you are done calculating 13x3, you get 39.BUT you didn't get 39 when dividing.So this proves that 13 IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT the answer.You divide again and get 51.Being the smart person you are, you check that answer.51x3=153By checking, you got it right!
multiplication is the Inverse operationof division so it could be used to check my work
you can use multiplication facts to find division facts by dividing your divisor and your quotient to find your answer.
you use multiply the divisor times the quotient & it should equal the dividend.
The solution to the problem 25 divided by 60176 is 0.0004, correct to 4 decimal places.
You can use a calculator to verify your multiplication numbers. Google is also a valuable resource for any math related questions.
