no there not , times is multiplying Ex; 1x2=2 while dividing is seeing how many times something can go into something else ex 10/2=5

times means
2 times 3 means 3+3
4 times of 3=3+3+3+3

divide is
4 divided into 2 parts=2
6 divided into 3 parts=3

but you could multiply by a fraction and essensially divide

they are different
