The minor of an n-by-n square matrix
is the determinant of a smaller square matrix obtained by removing the row
and the column
from
.
Multiplying the minor with results in the cofactor
:
![]()
The minors The corresponding cofactors in that case are |
![]() This example uses the transformation matrix The minors
