What is the definition of scalar multiplication of matrices?

• Scalar multiplication is the process of finding the determinant of a matrix

• Scalar multiplication of matrices is the process of multiplying each element of a matrix by a scalar (a single number).

• Scalar multiplication is the process of adding two matrices together

• Scalar multiplication is the process of dividing each element of a matrix by a scalar
