if A and B are square matrix and satisfy this AB=i find A and B matrix Can we say that A is sufficient condition for each element in b to be an integer is that detA is an integer or Can we say that Because is always an integer matrix Or is it possible to say that A necessary condition for each element in B to be an integer is determinant A lie in {-1,1}

No. Take the matrix $$ A=diag(2,\frac{1}{2}), $$ and $B=A^{-1}$. Then $\det(A)=\det(B)=1$, but the matrix coefficients are not all integers.
