How do you use multiplacation to check the answer to a division problem?

To check the answer to a division problem using multiplication, you can multiply the quotient (the result of the division) by the divisor (the number you divided by). If the product equals the original dividend (the number you divided), then your division answer is correct. For example, if you divided 20 by 4 and got 5, you would multiply 5 by 4 to see if it equals 20. If it does, your division is confirmed as accurate.
