About Karnaugh Map Solver
The Karnaugh Map Solver simplifies Boolean algebra expressions using the K-map graphical method. Supports 2, 3, and 4 variable maps with optional don't-care conditions.
Enter your minterms (or maxterms) and the solver identifies prime implicants, groups adjacent cells, and outputs the minimized Sum of Products (SOP) or Product of Sums (POS) expression — with step-by-step visual explanations.
FAQ
A Karnaugh Map (K-map) is a graphical method for simplifying Boolean algebra expressions. It arranges truth table values in a grid so that adjacent cells differ by only one variable, making it easy to spot groups that simplify the expression.
This solver supports 2-variable, 3-variable, and 4-variable Karnaugh Maps. These cover the most common cases in digital logic courses and textbooks.
SOP (Sum of Products) expresses a function as an OR of AND terms (e.g., AB + CD). POS (Product of Sums) expresses it as an AND of OR terms (e.g., (A+B)(C+D)). Both are canonical forms for Boolean functions, and K-maps can derive either form.
