Can you divide matrices and how?

Answer 1

No. The closest thing that you can do is find an inverse, if the matrix is non-singular.

Addenda: You can't "Just take the inverse of the second matrix and multiply." Not all matrices have inverses.

For example:
|1 0|
|0 0|
doesn't have an inverse.

Answer 2

Yes. Just take the inverse of the second matrix and multiply. For numbers, a / b is defined as a * 1/b. So for matrices, A / B = A * inverse(B). (That's why inverse is generally written as B to -1 power.)

Just remember that matrix multiplication is not commutative, so A / B is not equal to B^-1 * A, only to A * B^-1.

This isn't really called "dividing", actually. It is just multiplying by the inverse. But it is dividing in the sense that if:
A * B = C
A * B * B^-1 = C * B^-1
A = C * B^-1
where you're "dividing" both sides by B.

Answer 3

12/3=4 because 4 x 3 = 12
Do the same with matrices! Then u can use matrix multiplication.
If the matrices are n x n, u find n equations.

Answer 4

Division of matrices is unknown in the field of mathematics.
The lateral division is however carried out by mutiplying the inverse of the divisor matrix to be divided matrix.
[A] divided [B] = [A] X [B]-1
This is however not formally recognised as the division of matrices.

Answer 5

Yes

there is both left and right division
