The inverse of a square matrix A is the matrix A-1 such that

A A-1 = I

 

For example, if

A =
  
 
12
34
 
  
, then A-1 =
  
 
-21
1.5-0.5
 
  
because A A-1 =
  
 
12
34
 
  
  
 
-21
1.5-0.5
 
  
=
  
 
10
01
 
  

To get the inverse of a square matrix A, use the following formula

A-1 = 1adj(A)
det(A)

If the determinant of the matrix is 0, the matrix doesn't have an inverse and it's called a singular matrix.

You can try to find out the inverse of a matrix (if any) by using the online calculator above.
