The process of determining the determinant of larger matrices usually incorporates techniques such as row operations, expansion of cofactors, or the utilization of LU decomposition. These strategies transform the matrix into a simpler structure or break down the computation into smaller segments, thereby making it more computationally viable to ascertain the determinant.
