7. If a row doesn’t
consist entirely of
zeros, then the
first non zero
number in the row
is a 1. We call this
as leading 1.
If there are any
rows that consist
entirely of zeros ,
then they are
grouped together
at Bottom of the
matrix.
In any two
successive rows that
do not consist
entirely of zeros, the
leading 1 in the
lower row occurs
farther to the right
than the leading 1 in
the higher row.
Each column that
contains a leading
1 has zeros
everywhere else
in that column.
