Part-Part-Total . Multiplication and division have an inverse relationship, meaning one operation can undo the other. This connection is evident when we consider the relationship between factor-factor-product and part-part-total. In multiplication, two factors combine to form a product, just as two parts come together to make a whole in part-part-total. . Division, on the other hand, works in reverse—starting with the total (product) and breaking it into equal parts (factors). Understanding this
