Key Concepts

• Multiplication facts to divide with 8.
• Multiplication facts to divide with 9.

The Relation between multiplication and division:

Multiplication and division are closely related, given that division is the inverse operation of multiplication.

When we divide, we look to separate into equal groups, while multiplication involves joining equal groups.

• If we have 8 x 8 = 64, its inverse relations (in the form of a division) will be the following:
  64 ÷ 8 = 8.
• If we have 9 x 7 =63, its inverse relations (in the form of a division) will be the following:
  63 ÷ 9 = 7.
