The leading entry of a nonzero row is its first nonzero entry when read from left to right. A zero row has no leading entry. In row-echelon form, leading entries move strictly to the right down successive nonzero rows. In reduced row-echelon form, every leading entry is $1$ and is the only nonzero entry in its column.
