Two matrices can be multiplied if the number of colums of the left matrix equals the number of rows of the right matrix. The result of the multiplication of an l-by-m matrix with an m-by-n matrix is an l-by-n matrix . The components of the resulting matrix are comuputed as follows:
For example the multiplication of a 2-by-3 matrix with a 3-by-2 matrix results in a 2-by-2 matrix and is computed as follows:
