m=Table[Random[Integer,{1,5}],{3},{3}]

{{1, 3, 5}, {3, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 1}}

mi=Inverse[m]

{{-(3/7), 4/7, -(1/7)}, {5/21, -(3/7), 11/21}, 
  {1/7, 1/7, -(2/7)}}

m.mi

{{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}}

I recommend that you double-check your entry.

Yet another newbie question: I have a 3x3 matrix called V, filled with
numbers, whose output displays correctly.  However, when I enter
Inverse[V] the output displayed is not the answer but the word Inverse
followed by the the argument matrix as Inverse[(elements of V)].  What
am I doing wrong?  Gregory
