How to Use the Matrix Multiplication Calculator

  1. Set Matrix Sizes
    • Enter how many rows and columns you want for Matrix A and Matrix B.
    • Reminder: For multiplication to work, columns of Matrix A must equal rows of Matrix B.
  2. Click “Generate Matrices”
    • This creates two input grids – Matrix A and Matrix B – based on the sizes you entered.
  3. Fill in Matrix Values
    • Type numbers into each box of both matrices.
  4. Click “Multiply”
    • The result (Matrix C) will appear below. This is your final product matrix.

What’s Actually Happening Behind the Scenes

When you multiply matrices, you’re doing this:

If Matrix A is m × n and Matrix B is n × p,
then their product Matrix C will be m × p.

Each element in the result matrix is calculated like this:

C[i][j] = A[i][0]×B[0][j] + A[i][1]×B[1][j] + ... + A[i][n−1]×B[n−1][j]

Example:

Say:

Matrix A is 2×3:

 [1 2 3]
[4 5 6]

Matrix B is 3×2

 [7 8]
[9 10]
[11 12]

Result (Matrix C) will be 2×2:

 [1×7 + 2×9 + 3×11,   1×8 + 2×10 + 3×12]
[4×7 + 5×9 + 6×11, 4×8 + 5×10 + 6×12]

Which gives:

 [58 64]
[139 154]
