Division left-multiplies by the inverse of the divisor. You can enter the matrices themselves or enter the names of stored matrix variables. The matrices can be real or complex. For the next examples, store [[1,2],[3,4]] into M1 and [[5,6],[7,8]] into M2. Example 1. Create the first matrix. MATRIX 1 2 3 4 2. Create the second matrix. MATRIX 5 6 7 8 3. Add the matrices that you created. 18-6 Matrices
