Solve {l}{text{(1)}26}{text{(11)}28}{text{(14)}30}{text{(1)}32}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \text { (1) } 26 } \\ { \text { (11) } 28 } \\ { \text { (14) } 30 } \\ { \text { (1) } 32 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$26,32,308,420$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 26 to get 26.

$$sort(26,11\times 28,14\times 30,1\times 32)$$

Multiply 11 and 28 to get 308.

$$sort(26,308,14\times 30,1\times 32)$$

Multiply 14 and 30 to get 420.

$$sort(26,308,420,1\times 32)$$

Multiply 1 and 32 to get 32.

$$sort(26,308,420,32)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 26.

$$26$$

Insert 308 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$26,308$$

Insert 420 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$26,308,420$$

Insert 32 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$26,32,308,420$$

Evaluate

$$26,\ 308,\ 420,\ 32$$
