F is easy to find from a K-map of F. The above are the two essential facts used for multiplying out using a K-map. When is the K-map the best method? For most problems done by hand is by far the easiest way to factor. Six or more variables will give a problem too big for a K-map. Using algebra may be easier if all the variables, or almost all, are different.see omment on Slide 5. lgebra may be easier for converting small partial expression inside a long expression PROLEM: Multiply out using emorgan s Law and a Karnaugh map, to get two terms of 2 letters and one of 3 letters.

Then identify the d s on the map of F. Finally circle the map normally to find the minimum Σ of Π expression PROLEM: Find the minimum Σ of Π expression for F using the don t cares to best advantage. F = (W+X+Y)(W+X+Z)(X+Y+Z) The input combinations W XYZ, and WXYZ never happen, so these map squares are d s. Z YZ WX d 0 X W 0 d Y Helpful map 4-8. PROLEM: Find the minimum Σ of Π expression for G using the don t cares to best advantage.

Use the 2nd distributive law x + ab = (x + a)(x + b) - lways works, but - very long and slow. II. Take the dual Use a multiply-out method Take the dual back - hanges unfamiliar 2 to familar - In theory the same amount of work, but easier to grasp. III. Plot F on a K-map Plot F using the 0 squares Find F using emorgan - Easiest to do. - Gives the simplest Π of Σ answer. - Very messy for 5 variables or more. + + Use (2) = (+)(+) + Use (2) = [(+)(+) + ][(+)(+) + ] Use (2) = [(+) + ][(+) + ][(+) + ][(+) + ] Use (2) = [ + ][++ ][++ ][+ + ] and a+a=a = [ + ][+ + ] Use x(x+y) = x Example II F = + + F = ( + )+ F = {( + )}+ F UL = {+ )} F UL = + (ual) 2 = F = (+)( + + ) Example III F = + Plot on Map Get F from Map F = + Use (em) F=( + )( + ) Use () Take ual Use () Take ual ack F F dig4factoringh.fm p. 48 Revised; January 28, 2009 Slide Factoring Four methods of factoring Four methods of factoring I) Using 2 Using 2 many times is the brute force way. Unfortunately students find 2 hard to use, and the expansion may get very long. It helps to use simplification X (X+y) = X and absorption X (X+y) = Xy at every chance, but these rules are also more difficult than their dual rules. If all the letters are different, then all one can use is 2. II) Using duality and This in theory, is just as difficult as the previous method, but the more familiar rules makes it seem easier. IIa) Using a bit, then use duality and, as in II) above can do some factoring and often helps at the start. Example I above, using before 2, can be done in two lines. ++ =(+) + (using first) ={+}{+(+)} (using 2) III) Using Karnaugh maps This is the easiest method for four or five inputs, it always gives the smallest answer, it easily handles don t cares, but it gets very messy for over five inputs. It is the method of choice for most small problems. Three methods of multiplying out (compare with factoring) Using Using many times is the straightforward way, is very easy to use. Unfortunately the result can get very long. Using simplification (X + Xy =X) and absorption (X + Xy = X y) frequently will help. Using 2 (or equ) and Swap before using Use 2 or the equivalent (take the dual and use ) and the Swap rule can do initial consolidation before using. In most cases one must use for final cleanup. Using Karnaugh maps This is quite easy for four variables, but more complex for over five input variables. Easily handles d s arleton University dig4factoringh.fm p. 49, Revised; January 28, 2009 omment on Slide

Unless the problem is very simple the other methods will be easier. 2nd istributive Law (2) X + cd = (X+c)(X+d) Example + X Use (2) ( + X) ( + X) Use (2) again ( + X)( + X)( + X) Get extended (2) + X = ( + X)( + X)( + X) Example + Use (2) again ( + ) ( + ) Use (2) again, twice ( + ) ( + )( + ) ( + ) dig4factoringh.fm p. 50 Revised; January 28, 2009 Slide 2 Factoring Using 2 Factoring Using 2 Factoring Using 2 The expression proven on the slide is: The extended (2) + X = ( + X)( + X)( + X) The dual is the extended () ( + + )X = X + X + X Example + (2) ( + ) ( + ) (2) (2) ( + ) ( + )( + ) ( + ) ( + )( + ) ( + ) ( + = ) If we had started by using the Swap rule, we would have a simpler answer in one step PROLEM Factor + + arleton University dig4factoringh.fm p. 5, Revised; January 28, 2009 omment on Slide 2

Multiply out the dual to get sum-of products. The right one Step 4. Take the dual back to get the factored form. Factoring Using uality The expression to factor is Σ of Π F = + + () Use F = ( + ) + (2) Take its dual to get Π of Σ.

Easier for people, than factoring based on (2). lgebra of one is the dual of the algebra of the other dig4factoringh.fm p. 52 Revised; January 28, 2009 Slide 3 Factoring Using uality hanging Factoring into Multiplying Out hanging Factoring into Multiplying Out Factoring is onverted to Multiplying Out, its ual Problem We take a factoring problem which is confusing, because factoring is based on (2). This law is not a familiar high-school type algebraic law and is harder to work with. In the dual space, the dual expression is already factored. The problem is transformed into multiplying out, which is based on the first distributive law (). () is more familiar, and hence multiplying out is usually easier than factoring. Multiplying out in the dual space does not give the answer. One take the dual to get the answer. This will then be the factored form of the original expression PROLEM Show algebraically that F = takes only 8 letters or 2 gate inputs in factored form. arleton University dig4factoringh.fm p. 53, Revised; January 28, 2009 omment on Slide 3
