How do i remember the difference between differentiation and integration?

The easiest thing to do is to look at what is in the name. For integration you have `in`, which corresponds to an `increase` in power. Whereas with differenentiation you have `d` for decrease in power. Then all you need to remember is to make sure to multiply the power before decreasing for differentiation and to divide the power after the increase for integration.
