First calculate the minor of the highest possible order of a given matrix. If it is

0, then the order of the minor is the rank.

If it is = 0, and all other minors of the same order is 0, then minors of the next lower order should be calculated.

If at least 1 minor of given order not equal to 0 that order is the rank.

to sum up, rank of a given matrix A is said to be 'r' if:
1. Every minor of A of order r+1 is zero
2. There is at least one minor of A of order r which is not equal to 0.

hope u understand this...
