Question

Division is the inverse (opposite) of ______​

Answer 1

The answer is:

multiplication

Work/explanation:

Division is the inverse (opposite) of multiplication.

If you divide a number by x, and then multiply that same number by x, you will get the number you started with, because division & multiplication will cancel each other out.

Answer 2

Division is the inverse of multiplication

Explanation:

Division is the inverse of multiplication,

e.g

if you multiply a number say 1,

by another number say 5

then you get,

1 multiplied by 5 = 5

But now, if you divide by the same number 5, then you get 1 back again,

5 divided by 5 = 1

Hence, division cancels the effect of multiplication, so it is the inverse of multiplication
