โฆ Synopsis
A variant of the fraction free form of Gaussian elimination is presented. This algorithm reduces the amount of arithmetic involved when the matrix has many zero entries. The advantage can be great for matrices with symbolic entries (integers, polynomials, expressions in trigonometric functions, etc.). These claims are supported with some analysis and experimental data.

Sylvester's identity is a well-known identity that can be used to prove that certain Gaussian elimination algorithms are fraction free. In this paper we will generalize Sylvester's identity and use it to prove that certain random Gaussian elimination algorithms are fraction free. This can be used to
