Division and Multiplication
are Opposites!
Did you know that the same three
numbers that are used to multiply are used
to divide? For example:
• 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 4 x 3 = 12
• 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 3 x 4 = 12
The numbers 3, 4, and 12 are a
fact family
Fact Family
A fact family is a collection of related
multiplication and division facts made from
the same numbers.
6 7 42
6 x 7 = 42
7 x 6 = 42
42 ÷ 7 = 6
42 ÷ 6 = 7
