1. Prime implicant chart (ignore the don't cares)
PIs\Minterms2357810121315a,b,c,d
2,3XX001-
2,10XX-010
8,10XX10-0
8,12XX1-00
3,7XX0-11
12,13XX110-
5,7,13,15XXXX-1-1

Column-5 has only single X, so essential PI (5,7,13,15) is -1-1. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 5,7,13,15

Extracted essential prime implicants : -1-1


2. Reduced Prime implicant chart
PIs\Minterms2381012a,b,c,d
2,3XX001-
2,10XX-010
8,10XX10-0
8,12XX1-00
3,7X0-11
12,13X110-

Row-2,3 is dominated by Row-3,7, so Row-3,7 is eliminated
Row-8,12 is dominated by Row-12,13, so Row-12,13 is eliminated

Reduced Prime implicant chart after Row dominance
PIs\Minterms2381012a,b,c,d
2,3XX001-
2,10XX-010
8,10XX10-0
8,12XX1-00



Column dominance
Column-3 is dominated by Column-2, so Column-2 is eliminated
Column-12 is dominated by Column-8, so Column-8 is eliminated

Reduced Prime implicant chart after Column dominance
PIs\Minterms31012a,b,c,d
2,3X001-
2,10X-010
8,10X10-0
8,12X1-00



3. Reduced Prime implicant chart

2,3X001-
2,10X-010
8,10X10-0
8,12X1-00

Column-3 has only single X, so essential PI (2,3) is 001-. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 3
Column-12 has only single X, so essential PI (8,12) is 1-00. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 12

Extracted essential prime implicants : 001-,1-00


4. Reduced Prime implicant chart
PIs\Minterms10a,b,c,d
2,10X-010
8,10X10-0

(`1^(st)` Row) Row PI 2,10 has maximum(1) X, so essential PI (2,10) is -010. Now remove this PI Row and corresponding Minterm Column 10


Extracted essential prime implicants : -010


All extracted essential prime implicants : -1-1,001-,1-00,-010
