How do I find what row and column a specific element is in?

I am trying to create a sudoku solver for a project and I can't find a way to find which row and column an element is in. For example if I had a 9 by 9 matrix I want to know what row and column a specific element is in. Such as element number 11 would be in row 2 column 2.

You can't have looked that far. Use find:

m = magic(3);
[row, column] = find(m == 7)

Thank you but that isn't quite what I need.

Then you need to explain what you need.

edit: After you've edited the question, find is still the answer.
