Hello,

I would like to ask for help with factorization, collection or decomposition of matricies. If I have the symbolic product of matrices:

A := Matrix(2, 2, {(1, 1) = a[11], (1, 2) = a[12], (2, 1) = a[21], (2, 2) = a[22]})

B := Matrix(2, 2, {(1, 1) = b[11], (1, 2) = b[12], (2, 1) = b[21], (2, 2) = b[22]})

then C:= A*B :

Matrix(2, 2, {(1, 1) = a[11]*b[11]+a[12]*b[21], (1, 2) = a[11]*b[12]+a[12]*b[22], (2, 1) = a[21]*b[11]+a[22]*b[21], (2, 2) = a[21]*b[12]+a[22]*b[22]})

and my question follows:

Can I factor this result C and get the imput matrices A and B ? Is any function for this operation ? I would like to use it for matrices 3 time 3 not only for 2 times 2.

Thank you for your help,
