Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of the same number.

Division is a mathematical operation that represents the process of splitting a number into equal parts.

Multiplication and division are inverse operations; dividing a number by another is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

You can check the result by using division; if a x b = c, then c ÷ b should equal a.

The associative property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product.
