RREF calculator

Reduce a matrix to reduced row echelon form (RREF). Enter the matrix and see every row operation step by step.

Matrix

What is RREF?

Reduced Row Echelon Form is a matrix where: each leading entry is 1, each leading 1 is the only non-zero in its column, and leading 1s move to the right as you go down rows.

Row operations

R₁ ↔ R₂: Swap two rows.

kR₁: Multiply a row by a non-zero constant.

R₁ + kR₂: Add a multiple of one row to another.

Applications

Solving systems of linear equations, finding matrix rank, determining linear independence, computing inverses.
