Quine-McCluskey (Tabulation) Method is an alternative method to replace Karnaugh-Map(K-maps). When there are more than 6 variables ,K-maps are not efficient to minimized standard from Boolean function. However, for functions with more than six variables, it becomes very difficult to visualize how the minterms should be combined into subcubes. In addition, the K-map algorithm is not as straight forward to program the computer with. There exist a tabulation method called Quine-McClusky method that are better suited for programming the computer, and thus can solve any function having any number of variables. Example: f (w,x,y,z) = Σ(0,2,5,7,10,13,14,15) The minterms is group according to the numbers of 1's in the minterms binary representation. For Example the Group 0 does not have any 1's binary(0000),the group 1 has only one 1's(0010), the group 2 got 2 subcube minterms that have two 1's. The next step, we construct another tables by combining the minterms in
