Every operation in Mathematics needs to have an inverse. For addition, its inverse is subtraction (and vice versa) For multiplication, its division The inverse of squaring a number, is taking its square root.
A mathematical operation that does the opposite is an inverse operation. If the inverse operation is used on the result of an operation, it will restore the initial value.Some opposite operations are:addition / subtractionmultiplication / divisionexponentials (e.g. squaring) / roots (e.g. square root)

The inverse operation of squaring a number is finding the square root of that number. In mathematical terms, if you square a number x, the result is x^2. The inverse operation would be taking the square root of x^2, which gives you the original number x. For example, if you square 3 (3^2 = 9), the square root of 9 is 3.
The inverse or opposite of the operation of multiply is divide. So the inverse operation of multiply by 24 would be to divide by 24 or multiply by the inverse of the number (1/24).
