Correct answer: 3780

We need to count how many matrices in

R={(a3bc2d050):a,b,c,d∈S},R=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}a&3&b\\ c&2&d\\ 0&5&0\end{pmatrix}: a,b,c,d\in S\right\},R=⎩⎨⎧​​ac0​325​bd0​​:a,b,c,d∈S⎭⎬⎫​,

where

S={0,3,5,7,11,13,17,19},S=\{0,3,5,7,11,13,17,19\},S={0,3,5,7,11,13,17,19},

are invertible.

There are 888 choices each for a,b,c,da,b,c,da,b,c,d, so total matrices are

84=4096.8^4=4096.84=4096.

We only need to count those with nonzero determinant.


1. Compute the determinant

Let

A=(a3bc2d050).A=\begin{pmatrix}a&3&b\\ c&2&d\\ 0&5&0\end{pmatrix}.A=​ac0​325​bd0​​.

Expand along the third row:

det⁡(A)=0⋅C31+5⋅C32+0⋅C33.\det(A)=0\cdot C_{31}+5\cdot C_{32}+0\cdot C_{33}.det(A)=0⋅C31​+5⋅C32​+0⋅C33​.

Now

C32=(−1)3+2∣abcd∣=− (ad−bc).C_{32}=(-1)^{3+2}\begin{vmatrix}a&b\\ c&d\end{vmatrix} =-\,(ad-bc).C32​=(−1)3+2​ac​bd​​=−(ad−bc).

Hence

det⁡(A)=5(−(ad−bc))=5(bc−ad).\det(A)=5\big(- (ad-bc)\big)=5(bc-ad).det(A)=5(−(ad−bc))=5(bc−ad).

So the matrix is invertible iff

bc−ad≠0bc-ad\ne 0bc−ad=0

that is,

ad≠bc.ad\ne bc.ad=bc.

Thus we must count quadruples (a,b,c,d)∈S4(a,b,c,d)\in S^4(a,b,c,d)∈S4 such that

ad=bc.ad=bc.ad=bc.

Then subtract from 409640964096.


2. Count singular matrices: solve ad=bcad=bcad=bc

We count ordered quadruples (a,b,c,d)∈S4(a,b,c,d)\in S^4(a,b,c,d)∈S4 satisfying

ad=bc.ad=bc.ad=bc.

Let us split into cases.


Case 1: At least one side is forced to be zero

The only zero in SSS is 000.

If ad=bc=0ad=bc=0ad=bc=0, then equality holds. We count all quadruples with both products zero.

  • ad=0ad=0ad=0 means a=0a=0a=0 or d=0d=0d=0.
  • bc=0bc=0bc=0 means b=0b=0b=0 or c=0c=0c=0.

Number of ordered pairs (a,d)(a,d)(a,d) with product 000:

82−72=64−49=15.8^2-7^2=64-49=15.82−72=64−49=15.

Similarly, number of ordered pairs (b,c)(b,c)(b,c) with product 000 is also 151515.

Therefore number of quadruples with

ad=0,bc=0ad=0,\quad bc=0ad=0,bc=0

is

15×15=225.15\times 15=225.15×15=225.

Case 2: All products are nonzero

Now a,b,c,d≠0a,b,c,d\ne 0a,b,c,d=0, so all variables lie in

T={3,5,7,11,13,17,19}.T=\{3,5,7,11,13,17,19\}.T={3,5,7,11,13,17,19}.

We need to count solutions of

ad=bcad=bcad=bc

with a,b,c,d∈Ta,b,c,d\in Ta,b,c,d∈T.

Since all numbers in TTT are distinct primes, the product of two elements determines the unordered pair of factors uniquely.

So for

ad=bc,ad=bc,ad=bc,

the multiset {a,d}\{a,d\}{a,d} must equal the multiset {b,c}\{b,c\}{b,c}.

Let us count ordered quadruples.

Subcase 2a: a=da=da=d

Then product ad=a2ad=a^2ad=a2. For bc=a2bc=a^2bc=a2, since elements are prime, we must have

b=c=a.b=c=a.b=c=a.

So this gives one quadruple for each choice of a∈Ta\in Ta∈T. Hence number is

7.7.7.

Subcase 2b: a≠da\ne da=d

Choose ordered pair (a,d)(a,d)(a,d) from TTT with distinct entries:

7×6=42.7\times 6=42.7×6=42.

For fixed distinct a,da,da,d, the equality bc=adbc=adbc=ad implies (b,c)(b,c)(b,c) must be either

(b,c)=(a,d)or(d,a).(b,c)=(a,d) \quad \text{or} \quad (d,a).(b,c)=(a,d)or(d,a).

So there are 222 choices.

Thus count is

42×2=84.42\times 2=84.42×2=84.

Therefore total nonzero solutions are

7+84=91.7+84=91.7+84=91.

3. Total singular matrices

So total number of singular matrices is

225+91=316.225+91=316.225+91=316.

4. Total invertible matrices

Therefore,

4096−316=3780.4096-316=3780.4096−316=3780.

So the number of invertible matrices is

3780.\boxed{3780}.3780​.

5. Compare with stored answer

Stored correct answer: 378037803780.

Our derived answer matches it.
