The Identity Matrix is a Two-Sided Multiplicative Identity

Statement

Let m,n∈m,n\in N\mathbb{N} and let AA be a real m×nm\times n matrix. Let ImI_m and InI_n denote the identity matrices of sizes mm and nn, and let the products be taken in the sense of Product of Real Matrices. Then

A In=AandIm A=A.A\,I_n=A\qquad\text{and}\qquad I_m\,A=A.

In particular, for a square matrix AA of size nn, A In=In A=AA\,I_n=I_n\,A=A.
