What is multiplication?

What is division?

Back

Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It answers the question of how many times one number is contained within another. For example, 12 divided by 3 (12 ÷ 3) means how many groups of 3 are in 12, which is 4.

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you multiply a number and then divide by the same number, you will return to the original number. For example, 6 x 2 = 12 and 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
