Click For Summary
To determine the minimum sum of products for a K-map with four variables, it's essential to group adjacent ones correctly. Grouping can be done horizontally or vertically, but diagonal wrapping is not typically allowed. The discussion emphasizes that the two ones in the bottom right and the two in the upper left should be treated as separate terms. Proper grouping is crucial for simplifying the expression effectively. Understanding these grouping rules is vital for solving K-map problems accurately.

The Attempt at a Solution



I am trying to figure out how to handle writing the minimum sum of products for this picture. Am I allowed to create a square with the two in the bottom right with the two in the upper left?
Or do I separate them into groups of two?

Just want to make sure :)

It looks like they need to be separate terms. You can wrap horizonatlly or vertically, but I've never seen a diagonal wrap...
