A formula aimed at expressing the determinant of a matrix $C\in M_{m,m}(\mathbb{R})$ that is the product of $A\in\mathrm{M}_{m,n}(\mathbb{R})$ and $B\in\mathrm{M}_{n,m}(\mathbb{R})$, in terms of the sum of the products of all possible higher order minors of $A$ with corresponding minors of the same order of $B$. More precisely, if $\alpha=(1,\ldots,m)$ and $\beta$ denotes any multi-index $(k_1,\ldots,k_m)$ with $1\leq k_1<\ldots<k_m\leq n$ of length $m$, then \[ \det C=\sum_\beta\det A_{\alpha\beta}\det B_{\beta\alpha}, \] where $A_{\alpha\beta}=(a_{\alpha_i\beta_j})$ and $B_{\beta\alpha}=(a_{\beta_j\alpha_i})$. In case $m>n$, no such $\beta$ exists and the right-hand side above is set to be $0$ by definition. Moreover, if $n=m$ the formula reduce to \[ \det C=\det A\,\det B. \] A numberber of interesting consequence of Cauchy-Binet formula is listed below. First of all, we get straightforwardly an inequality for the rank of the product matrix $C$, i.e., \[ \mathrm{rank}C\leq\min\{\mathrm{rank}A,\mathrm{rank}B\}. \]
