Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you multiply a number by another, you can divide the product by one of those numbers to get the other.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient (result) by the divisor (number you divided by) and seeing if it equals the dividend (original number).
