In this paper, the authors prove a product formula for the parity generating function of the number \(1\)'s in invertible matrices over \(\mathbb{Z}_2\). The main tool for the computation is the Bruhat decomposition in the theory of finite groups of Lie type. The same technique applies equally as well for the symplectic matrices over \(\mathbb{Z}_2\). The authors also present a generating function for the sum of entries of matrices over an arbitrary finite field \(F_q\) calculated in \(F_q\) and it is observed that the Mahonian distribution appears in these formulas.
