Statement

Let KK be a commutative ring, let m≤nm \le n, let AA be an m×nm \times n matrix and BB an n×mn \times m matrix over KK. For a subset S⊆{1,…,n}S \subseteq \{1, \dots, n\} with mm elements, let ASA_S be the m×mm \times m matrix of the columns of AA in SS. Let BSB^S be the m×mm \times m matrix of the rows of BB in SS. Then det⁡(AB)=∑Sdet⁡(AS)det⁡(BS),\det(AB) = \sum_{S} \det(A_S) \det(B^S), where the sum runs over all subsets SS of {1,…,n}\{1, \dots, n\} with mm elements.

Remarks

For m=nm = n, the sum has one term, and the formula is det⁡(AB)=det⁡Adet⁡B\det(AB) = \det A \det B. If m>nm > n, then det⁡(AB)=0\det(AB) = 0. For m=1m = 1, it is the formula for the product of a row and a column. The determinants det⁡(AS)\det(A_S) and det⁡(BS)\det(B^S) are minors of order mm.
