How to Find the Order of the Matrix?
The order of a matrix refers to its dimensions, represented as rows × columns. To find the order of matrix, follow these steps –
Steps to Determine the Order of the Matrix
- Count the Number of Rows (horizontal lines of elements).
- Count the Number of Columns (vertical lines of elements).
- Express the Order as
Number of Rows × Number of Columns
Example
Consider the matrix
Here;
- Number of rows = 2
- Number of columns = 3
- Order of the matrix = 2 × 3 (read as “2 by 3”)
