$\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &4|0\\5& 1 & 2 |1 \\1 & -1& 3|0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1& 3|0\\5& 1 & 2 |1\\2 &-1 &4|0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1& 3|0\\0&6 &-13|1\\0& 1 & -2 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1& 3|0\\0&1&-\frac{13}{6}|\frac{1}{6}\\0& 1 & -2 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1& 3|0\\0&1&-\frac{13}{6}|\frac{1}{6}\\0& 0& \frac{1}{6}|-\frac{1}{6} \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1& 3|0\\0&1&-\frac{13}{6}|\frac{1}{6}\\0& 0& 1|-1 \end{bmatrix}$ $1.P_{13}\\ 2.A_{12}(-5),A_{13}(-2)\\ 3.M_2(\frac{1}{6}), A_{23}(-1)\\ 4.M_3(6)$ From the third row, $x_3=-1\\ x_2-\frac{13}{6}x_3=\frac{1}{6}\rightarrow x_2=-2\\ x_1-x_2+3x_3=0 \rightarrow x_1=1$ Thus, $A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} 1\\-2\\-1 \end{bmatrix}$
