Practice Division as Inverse in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Understanding division as the inverse of multiplication—recovering the missing factor in a product.
If 3 \times 4 = 12, then 12 \div 4 = 3. Division reverses the multiplication.
Example 1
easyYou know that \(7 \times 8 = 56\). Use this fact to find \(56 \div 7\) and \(56 \div 8\).
Example 2
mediumA number times 9 equals 81. Use division as the inverse to find the unknown number.
Example 3
easyGiven \(6 \times 9 = 54\), write the two related division facts.
Example 4
mediumFind the missing number: \(? \times 7 = 42\). Use division.
