arrays multiplication matrix multiplication is only defined for matrices where the number of columns in the matrix on the lefthand side is equal to the number of rows in the matrix on the righthand side the result is new matrix that contains the same number of rows as the matrix on the lefthand side and the same number of columns as the matrix on the righthand side in other wordsgiven matrix of size multiplied by matrix of size pthe resulting matrix is of size in multiplying two matriceseach element of the new matrix is the result of summing the product of row in the lefthand side matrix by column in the righthand side matrix in the example matrix multiplication illustrated herethe row and column used to compute entry ( of the new matrix is shaded in gray ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( viewing matrix multiplication based on the element subscripts can help you to better understand the operation consider the two matrices from above and assume they are labeled and brespectively , , , , , , bb , , , , , , the computation of the individual elements resulting from multiplying and ( bis performed as followsc , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
