Prove there exist two invertible matrices: $$U in Mat_{m times m}, V in Mat_{n times n}$$



such that: $$A = UBV$$



My attempt:
this question essentially is to prove that multiplying a matrix of the left side is equivalent to be preforming operations on the rows, and multiplying a matrix to the right side is equivalent to be preforming operations on the columns.



I don't know how to prove this - so I tried using Linear maps and to prove that using linear mapps, which was so effective - as this does not "proves" that for every $A, B$ with an equal rank, there exist $U, V$ so that $A = UBV$.

          Linear maps make this easier (in my opinion).



          As $operatorname{rank}(A)=operatorname{rank}(B)$, the "column" subspaces $A(mathbb{R}^n)$ and $B(mathbb{R}^n)$ have the same dimension. Let $U$ be any linear isomorphism from $A(mathbb{R}^n)$ to $B(mathbb{R}^n)$. Extend $U$ to a linear isomorphism of $mathbb{R}^m$.



          Now let $v_1,ldots,v_kinmathbb{R}^n$ such that $Av_1,ldots,Av_k$ form a basis for $A(mathbb{R}^n)$. Then $UAv_1,ldots,UAv_k$ form a basis for $B(mathbb{R}^n)$. Choose $w_1,ldots,w_kinmathbb{R}^n$ such that $Bw_i=UAv_i$.



          Both $ker(A)$ and $ker(B)$ have dimension $n-dim(rank(A))=n-k$. Let $v_{k+1},ldots,v_n$ be a basis for $ker(A)$, and $w_{k+1},ldots,w_n$ be a basis for $ker(B)$. Then $left{v_1,ldots,v_nright}$ and $left{w_1,ldots,w_nright}$ are bases of $mathbb{R}^n$. Define a linear isomorphism $V:mathbb{R}^ntomathbb{R}^n$ on the basis as $Av_i=w_i$. Then $A=U^{-1}BV$.

            If $r$ is the common rank, pushing just a little bit more the RREF you get that there are invertibile $U_{1}, V_{1}$ such that
            $$
            U_{1} A V_{1}
            =
            C_{r}
            =

            where there are $r$ ones in $C_{r}$, and unnamed entries are zero.



            Similarly, there are invertibile $U_{2}, V_{2}$ such that

              Hint: prove that any matrix $A$ of rank $r$ can be transformed to
              $$
              A=Ubegin{bmatrix}I_r & 0\0 & 0end{bmatrix}V

              by invertible $U$, $V$. (One way to do it quickly is SVD).
