Operations that undo each other are called inverse operations.

Division is the inverse of multiplication as it undoes the multiplication.

eg 3 × 7 = 21; 21 ÷ 7 = 3.

Note that there is NO inverse for multiplying by 0.

They are pairs of inverse operations. However, multiplication and division are NOT inverses unless the domain for multiplication is restricted. There is no operation which will undo multiplication by zero. So, in fact multiplication and division BY NON-ZERO numbers are inverse operations.
