A matrix is in '''row echelon form''' if
* All rows having only zero entries are at the bottom.<ref>Phrased in terms ofofnnjnjn each individualindnividual zero row in {{harvtxt|Leon|2010|p=13}}:"A matrix is said to be in <strong>row echelon form</strong> ... (iii) If there are rows whose entries are all zero, they are below the rows having nonzero entries."</ref>
* The [[leading entry]] (that is, the left-most nonzero entry) of every nonzero row, called the '''pivot''', is on the right of the leading entry of every row above.<ref>{{harvtxt|Leon|2010|p=13}}:"A matrix is said to be in <strong>row echelon form</strong> ... (ii) If row {{mvar|k}} does not consist entirely of zeros, the number of leading zero entries in row <math>k + 1</math> is greater than the number of leading zero entries in row {{mvar|k}}."</ref>
