High School Math Solutions - Matrix Transpose Calculator, Transpose

The transpose of a matrix is when you turn all the rows of a matrix into columns and vice versa. Row 1 becomes column 1, row 2 becomes column 2, and so on. The transpose of a matrix, A, is denoted A^T.

When you transpose a matrix, the element in row i, column j becomes the element in row j, column i of the transposed matrix.

Let’s see some examples to better understand what the transpose of a matrix is.
