Abstract: Let $K$ be any field, let $L_n$ denote the Leavitt algebra of type $(1,n-1)$ having coefficients in $K$, and let ${mM}_d(L_n)$ denote the ring of $dimesd$ matrices over $L_n$. In our main result, we show that ${mM}_d(L_n)cong{L}_n$ if and only if $d$ and $n-1$ are coprime. We use this isomorphism to answer a question posed in cite{PS} regarding isomorphisms between various C*-algebras. Furthermore, our result demonstrates that data about the $K_0$ structure is sufficient to distinguish up to isomorphism the algebras in an important class of purely infinite simple $K$-algebras.
