The Karnaugh map representation for the function f(a, b, c) = summation(0, 1, 4, 6) is shown

below:

c
/ \
b 1 0
/ \ / \
a 1 1 0 1
0 0 0 -

The Karnaugh map shows that the function f(a, b, c) can be expressed as the sum of the
following two minterms:

● bc
● ac'

Therefore, a minimal sum of products expression for the function f(a, b, c) is:

f(a, b, c) = bc + ac'

This expression can be implemented using a two-input AND gate and a two-input OR gate. The
following circuit diagram shows how to implement the function f(a, b, c):

+-------+
| AND |
+-------+
/ \
b c
| \
+----------+
| OR |
+----------+
/ \
a 1

This circuit will output a 1 if either bc is a 1 or ac' is a 1. This is exactly the definition of the
function f(a, b, c) = summation(0, 1, 4, 6).
