In this problem, we have been given a k -map, which is shown over here, and we need to determine the simplification of the expression represented by the given k -map.
00:10
So, first of all, what we're going to do is we're going to group the ones together.
00:15
Now, how do we group them? we need to group ones together when they are in the powers of two.
00:22
So we have a total of eight squares in this case.
00:26
So first of all, we'll see if we can group eight ones together.
00:30
That is, if we can group 2 to the power of 3 ones together.
00:33
But we can see that two of them are zeros.
00:37
So that means we do not even have 8 1, so this isn't going to work.
00:41
So next we'll move on to the next power.
00:43
So instead of 2 to the power of 3, let's consider 2 to the power of 2.
00:47
So can we group 4 ones together? so we can group these 4 ones together.
00:55
They are consecutive.
00:56
They are right next to each other.
00:58
We can group those 4 together.
01:00
And we can also group these four ones together...
