=5× determinant ((0,0,0,1),(0,0,2,0),(0,3,0,0),(4,0,0,0))  =5×(−4)× determinant ((0,0,1),(0,2,0),(3,0,0))  =5×(−4)×3× determinant ((0,1),(2,0))  =5×(−4)×3×(−2×1)  =120
$$=\mathrm{5}×\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{0}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}\\{\mathrm{4}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{5}×\left(−\mathrm{4}\right)×\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{0}}\\{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{5}×\left(−\mathrm{4}\right)×\mathrm{3}×\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{0}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{5}×\left(−\mathrm{4}\right)×\mathrm{3}×\left(−\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{120} \\ $$
