Que? Division is the opposite of multiplication of course it does.
If you divide 81 by 9 you subtract 9 from 81 until you get to 0. The number of TIMES you do that is the result “81 divided by 9”.
- simondotau 2mo agoThis isn’t analogous to repeated addition giving multiplication. You’ve switched from applying an operation nine times to counting how many times an operation can be applied. You chose 81 because it’s the one number that makes your argument appear to work. Try the same reasoning with 80 ÷ 9.
