Abstract
This paper gives three formulas for the pseudoinverse of a matrix product . The first is sometimes correct, the second is always correct, and the third is almost never correct. But that third randomized pseudoinverse may be very useful when is a very large matrix. 1. when and has independent columns and has independent rows. 2. is always correct. 3. only when with .
