    The first way is the more "theorically understandable", but the third way is the coolest to perform. Once you have computed the adjugate, you can also ignore the last raw and column and use the centre to compute de determinant (if not previously done). So, an "all in one" method !

    Another way to find inverse is by using Cayley-Hamilton Theorem, which gives |A -λ I | = 0 , where I is a unit matrix. When we evaluate this determinant we get an equation of degree n , where n is the order of A. The equation is in terms of λ, so replace it with A. Voila! we get an equation with variables being the matrix and constant is the unit matrix. Multiply by A inverse and get simplify the rest o the terms to evaluate A inverse

    Fourth way: apply the BPRB technique but the second matrix is not the unit matrix but this: Det 0 0 0 Det 0 0 0 Det This gives you the transpose matrix in the second example. Remember to divide the integer matrix you get by the determinant of the original. You can either divide each element, or just write a scalar multiple of (1/Det A) in front, depending what you are about to use the matrix for. This offers an insight about why there is no inverse when Det = 0 because you'd be dividing by zero... I prefer this fourth way

    If you have a prime determinant, you usually end up with that as the denominator of a fraction in at least one row. If you have a compound determinant, you could have that as the denominator in one row, or you could choose to have fractions in different rows whose denominators multiply to that number. There are occasional exceptions to both the above.
