- Property 1 - The value of the determinant remains unchanged if its rows are turned into columns and columns are turned into rows.
- Property 2 - If any two rows (or columns) of a determinant are interchanged then the value of the determinant changes only in sign.
- Property 3 - If any two rows ( or columns) of a determinant are identical then the value of the determinant is zero.
- Property 4 - If each element of a row (or column) of a determinant is multiplied by a constant k then the value of the new determinant is k times the value of the original determinant.
- Property 5 - If each element of a row (or column) is expressed as the sum of two numbers then the determinant can be expressed as the sum of two determinants
- Property 6 - If a constant multiple of all elements of any row (or column) is added to the corresponding elements of any other row (or column ) then the value of the new determinant so obtained is the same as that of the original determinant.
