Let's work through the table you uploaded. The key idea here is that division and multiplication are inverse operations, meaning you can reverse a multiplication equation to a division equation.

### 1st Row: 
- Multiplication: \( 2 \times 4 = 8 \)
- Related division: \( 8 \div 2 = 4 \) and \( 8 \div 4 = 2 \)

### 2nd Row:
- Multiplication: \( -2 \times 4 = -8 \)
- Related division: \( -8 \div (-2) = 4 \) and \( -8 \div 4 = -2 \)

### 3rd Row:
- Multiplication: \( 2 \times (-4) = -8 \)
- Related division: \( -8 \div 2 = -4 \) and \( -8 \div (-4) = 2 \)

### 4th Row:
- Multiplication: \( -2 \times (-4) = 8 \)
- Related division: \( 8 \div (-2) = -4 \) and \( 8 \div (-4) = -2 \)

Do you need further details or explanations on any of the steps?

Here are five questions to expand on this topic:
1. How does multiplication by negative numbers affect division?
2. What happens if both numbers in the multiplication are negative?
3. Can you find another example where division is the inverse of multiplication?
4. How would this work with larger numbers or fractions?
5. Why are division and multiplication called inverse operations?

**Tip**: Always double-check division by performing the reverse multiplication to verify your results.

Complete the number statements by using the fact that division and multiplication are inverse operations.

Learn how multiplication and division are inverse operations through simple equations. Solve examples like 2 × 4 = 8 and find the related division forms. Suitable for students in Grades 3-5, this exercise strengthens foundational math skills.
