The video tutorial explains how to verify basic arithmetic operations using inverse operations. It introduces the concept of 'real proof' for division and multiplication, demonstrating how to check the correctness of these operations. For division, the inverse operation is multiplication, and for multiplication, it is division. The tutorial also covers how to handle divisions with remainders, ensuring students can verify their calculations independently.
