Smith normal form of the following matrix
$begingroup$
Let $$ A = begin{bmatrix} 66 & 30\ 12 & 4 end{bmatrix}$$
I've been trying to find the smith normal form of this matrix, and I keep getting the wrong answer. Here are my workings;
gcd of the entries of the first column is $6$, so we aim to get $6$ in the $(1,1)$ position via row operations. $r_1 : r_1 - 5r_2$ yields $$begin{bmatrix} 6 & 10\ 12 &4 end{bmatrix}$$
Now, the gcd of the first row is $2$, so we aim to get this in the $(1,1)$ position. $c_1 : 2c_1 - c_2$ yields $$begin{bmatrix} 2 & 10\20 &4 end{bmatrix}$$
Now, we aim to get zeroes in the $(1,2)$ and $(2,1)$ position. $c_2 : 5c_1 - c_2$ and $r_2 : r_2 - 10r_1$ yields the matrix begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\ 0 & 96 end{bmatrix}
But the answer is supposed to be begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\0 & 48 end{bmatrix}
But I can't see a mistake in my workings anywhere? Am I using the algorithm incorrectly?
