Can Napier's rods be used for division?

Napier's rods, or Napier's bones, are primarily designed for multiplication and can be used for various arithmetic operations, including division, though indirectly. To perform division, one typically uses the multiplication tables generated by the rods to find the quotient. This process can be more complex than straightforward multiplication, as it often involves repeated subtraction or finding the inverse of the multiplication operation. Thus, while division is not their main function, Napier's rods can assist in the process with additional steps.
