examples: a x -a=0
"Inverse Operation(s)"
Commutative Property of Multiplication
the inverse of addition is subtraction and the inverse of multiplication is division. Of course, multiplication is just repeated addition so division is just repeated subtraction!
this is no Inverse property for multiplication
division
it is the opposite of the multiplication problem
inverse property of multiplication
Multiplying a number by its inverse equals a * (1/a) = 1. The a cancels out.
examples: a x -a=0
The inverse of division is multiplication
No, the inverse property of multiplication results in an answer of 1 when inverses are multiplied together. The reciprocal of a number represents the inverse of a number. When a number or term is multiplied by its reciprocal, the result is one. 4 x 1/4 = 1 a x 1/a = 1 5 and 1/5 illustrates the inverse property of multiplication.
"Inverse Operation(s)"
"opposite" operation. The inverse of subtraction is addition; the inverse operation of multiplication is division.
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Because you need to use inverse operations and the opposite of multiplication is division.
