5-Variable Karnaugh Map Solver
Solve 5-variable Boolean functions using two side-by-side 4-variable map tiles, with full support for groups that span across both.
Why use this 5-variable karnaugh map solver
Proper multi-tile handling
Groups that cross between the two tiles are detected and minimized correctly, not just within a single tile.
Matches what most tools skip
Many free K-map tools cap out below 5 variables — this one doesn't.
Same 5 input modes
K-map, truth table, expression, minterms, and maxterms all work identically at this size.
Frequently asked questions
How does a 5-variable K-map work?
It's split into two 4-variable tiles based on the 5th variable's value (0 or 1), with cells in matching positions across both tiles counted as adjacent.
Can a group span both tiles?
Yes — if the two corresponding cells across both tiles are both 1 (or don't-care), they combine into one group, dropping the 5th variable from that term.
Is 5-variable K-mapping still done by hand in practice?
It's taught by hand to build intuition, but larger functions are almost always minimized algorithmically in practice — exactly what this tool does under the hood.
