I have an NxM matrix and I'm wondering if it's possible to invert it. I know matrix inversion is a common operation in linear algebra, but I'm not sure if it applies to matrices of this specific dimension. Can you invert an NxM matrix?

An inverse matrix is a matrix that, when multiplied by the original matrix, results in the identity matrix.

Despite not having an inverse, in certain cases, a non-square matrix may possess either a left inverse or a right inverse.
