3. STEP 1:
Arrange all Minterms according to number of 1
as shown in table 2
STEP: 2
Compare each minterm in group ‘n’ with each
minterm in group (n+1) and identify the match
pairs. A match pair is a pair of minterms which
differ only in one variable. For the variables
differ place (-) dash, as shown in Table 3

STEP: 4
Repeat the procedure for grouping. If can group the Quads of minterms
in the adjacent groups of table 4 to obtain groups of eight minterms.
There are no such matching.
