Estimating and Adjusting Quotients in Division

This video tutorial teaches how to divide using estimation and adjustment techniques. It begins with a review of multiplication and division as inverse operations, then demonstrates breaking down complex problems into smaller parts for easier calculation. The SMART rounding technique is introduced to make division more efficient. Practical examples, such as dividing stamps among students, illustrate these methods in action.

Explain how multiplication and division are related as inverse operations.
