So, this statement above would actually be a true and a great method to actually use. They would give you the same results.

For example: 

[tex]\boxed{(2*2)=4 \ = \ ; \ (4\div2)=2}[/tex]

This would be the same as the problem above. All that is being done, is that it is being inversed. That's all.
