They are not the same: they are similar. Division is the inverse operation. Division by x (where x is non-zero) is the same as multiplication by (1/x). So the operations are related but that does not make them the same.

They are not the same!The set of integers is closed under multiplication but not under division.Multiplication is commutative, division is not.Multiplication is associative, division is not.
There is no real difference between the two operations. Division by a scalar (a number) is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal. Thus, division by 14 is the same as multiplication by (1/14).
Operations that undo each other include: addition and subtraction multiplication and division powers and roots
Division is the same thing as multiplication
Multiplication is the same as division by the reciprocal. Example: both 4 times 2 and 4 divided by 1/2 equal 8.
