we can multiply the divisor & the quotient to find the dividend
By dividing....example: 2 x 5 = 10 10 / 5 = 2
When numbers are divided, the result is called the quotient. When numbers are multiplied, the result is called the product. To check the result of a multiplication problem, divide the result (the product) by one of the multipliers. The quotient will be the other multiplier. EXAMPLE : To verify that 387 x 211 = 81657, then divide 81657 by 387. The answer (quotient) is 211.
you could have done something wrong on the calculator !
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.
Multiplication
multiplication is the Inverse operationof division so it could be used to check my work
You can multiply the answer to see if it's right. same with multiplication, addition, and subtraction. Multiplication, you divide, to check addition, you subtract, and subtract, you add.

It affects because if you want to solve a multiplication problem you can use it or also to check your division problem
You could divide the answer into the larger number of the problem. The answer should be the remaining number (multiplicand).
You use compatible numbers.
16 / 4 is 4. Check this via multiplication! 4 x 4 gives back 16. If you know the multiplication table, you should know how to work out this problem.
precision * * * * * For reasonableness you only use estimation.
It is extremely important, because everyone(including me) makes simple mistakes and sometimes needs to check.
