Abstract: Consider the ring of all $ \kappa\times \kappa$ column finite matrices over a ring $ R$. We prove that each such matrix is conjugate to a row and column finite matrix if and only if $ R$ is right Noetherian and $ \kappa$ is countable. We then demonstrate that one can perform this conjugation on countably many matrices simultaneously. Some applications and limitations are given.
