Understand the subject
What are matrix properties?
Properties such as symmetric, triangular, diagonal, and orthogonal describe structural rules an entire matrix satisfies.
Use them to identify which theorems and factorizations may apply.

Interpret with care
Important boundary
A matrix may have several properties at once; passing one does not imply all others.
Use the Matrix Calculator to experiment with small exact matrix operations before applying a more specialized route.
Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Set the matrix dimensions required by the task.
- Fill every visible entry and any operation-specific control.
- Read the result type, factors, classification, and disclosed limitations.
Calculation method
Apply the stated linear-algebra contract
Symmetric: Aᵀ=A; orthogonal: AᵀA=I
Undefined, singular, dimensionally incompatible, dependent, or unsupported inputs receive an explicit message instead of a fabricated numeric result.
Worked example
Example interpretation
The identity matrix is diagonal, triangular, symmetric, and orthogonal.
Symmetric: Aᵀ=A; orthogonal: AᵀA=I
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Matrix size
Input matrices are limited to 1–6 rows and columns; operation-specific square, rank, or compatibility rules still apply.
Entry precision
Enter signed finite decimals with at most 30 digits and 15 decimal places.
Exactness
Finite decimals become reduced rational numbers and intermediate structural calculations are not rounded.
