An \(m\times n\) matrix is called totally positive if all of its minors are positive. The authors prove that an arbitrary \(m\times n\) positive matrix can be written as a sum of at most \(\min\{m, n\}\) totally positive matrices. This generalizes the fact that a positive matrix is the sum of two matrices whose all principal minors are positive.
