- You can multiply two matrices if, and only if, the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix. (Link on columns vs rows) In the picture above, the matrices can be multiplied since the number of columns in the 1st one, matrix A, equals the number of rows in the 2 nd, matrix B.

But to multiply a matrix by another matrix we need to do the "dot product" of rows and columns ... what does that mean? Let us see with an example: To work out the answer for the 1st row and 1st column: Want to see another example? Here it is for the 1st row and 2nd column: (1, 2, 3) • (8, 10, 12) = 1×8 + 2×10 + 3×12 = 64 We can do the same thing f...
This may seem an odd and complicated way of multiplying, but it is necessary! I can give you a real-life example to illustrate why we multiply matrices in this way.
To show how many rows and columns a matrix has we often write rows×columns. When we do multiplication: So ... multiplying a 1×3 by a 3×1 gets a 1×1result: But multiplying a 3×1 by a 1×3 gets a 3×3result:
The "Identity Matrix" is the matrix equivalent of the number "1": A 3×3 Identity Matrix 1. It is "square" (has same number of rows as columns) 2. It can be large or small (2×2, 100×100, ... whatever) 3. It has 1s on the main diagonal and 0s everywhere else 4. Its symbol is the capital letter I It is a special matrix, because when we multiply by it,...
In arithmetic we are used to: 3 × 5 = 5 × 3 (The Commutative Lawof Multiplication) But this is not generally true for matrices (matrix multiplication is not commutative): AB ≠ BA When we change the order of multiplication, the answer is (usually) different. It canhave the same result (such as when one matrix is the Identity Matrix) but not usually.
Due to the matrix multiplication rules, not all matrices can be multiplied. Two matrices can only be multiplied if the number of columns of the matrix on the left is the same as the number of rows of the matrix on the right.
When we multiply a matrix by a scalar (i.e., a single number) we simply multiply all the matrix's terms by that scalar. We can also multiply a matrix by another matrix, but this process is more complicated.

Sep 17, 2022 · If the two middle numbers don’t match, you can’t multiply the matrices! When the number of columns of \(A\) equals the number of rows of \(B\) the two matrices are said to be conformable and the product \(AB\) is obtained as follows.
Sep 17, 2022 · Definition: Matrix Multiplication. Let A be an m × r matrix, and let B be an r × n matrix. The matrix product of A and B, denoted A ⋅ B, or simply AB, is the m × n matrix M whose entry in the ith row and jth column is the product of the ith row of A and the jth column of B. It may help to illustrate it in this way.
Multiplying matrices can be performed using the following steps: Step 1: Make sure that the number of columns in the 1 st matrix equals the number of rows in the 2 nd matrix (compatibility of matrices). Step 2: Multiply the elements of i th row of the first matrix by the elements of j th column in the second matrix and add the products.
