If a matrix has 8 elements, then the possible orders of the matrix are:

If a matrix has 8 elements, then the possible orders of the matrix are:

• A. 1×8, 2×4, 4×2, 8×1
• B. 1×8, 8×1 only
• C. 2×4, 4×2 only
• D. 1×8, 2×4 only

Answer: A) 1×8, 2×4, 4×2, 8×1

Explanation: If a matrix has m×n elements, the order is m×n where m and n are positive integers. The factor pairs of 8 are (1,8), (2,4), (4,2), (8,1), so all four orders are possible.
