Step 1 Matrix, a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns so as to form a rectangular array. The numbers are called the elements, or entries, of the matrix. And by using the product of the matrix 4×1 and 2×4 will result the matrix of 2×1. AB=[6101428]×AB=[2000250030001500250010001000500] Step 2 Now multiply the row of the A matrix with the first column of the matrix B and keep on adding the multiples then multiply the row of the A matrix with the second column of the matrix B and keep on adding the multiples. AB=[6101428]×AB=[2000250030001500250010001000500] =[(6×2000)+(10×3000)+(14×2500)+(28×1000)(6×2500)+(10×1500)+(14×1000)+(28×500)] =[12000+30000+35000+2800015000+15000+14000+14000] =[10500058000]
