Given,
The matrix A=8411006816

The determinant of A, |A| = 8(0 – 6) + 4(60 – 48) + 1(10) = – 48 + 48 + 10 = 10 ≠ 0

This indicates that the matrix have inverse

In order to find adjoint of the matrix A let's find the minors of the matrix A

=0616106861008141168186848141068110684100=61210254040243840

Co-factors

=(1)1+1(6)(1)1+2(12)(1)1+3(10)(1)2+1(25)(1)2+2(40)(1)2+3(40)(1)3+1(24)(1)3+2(38)(1)3+3(40)=61210254040243840

Transpose of the matrix A with co-factors

CAT=61210254040243840T=62524124038104040=adjA

The inverse of the matrix A,A1=1|A|adjA

=11062524124038104040
