$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 5 \cdot 69 \cdot 20 } \\ { 125 \cdot 8 \cdot 5 } \\ { 4 \cdot 11 \cdot 25 } \\ { 125 \cdot 8 \cdot 17 } \\ { 2 \cdot 17 \cdot 50 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$1100,1700,5000,6900,17000$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 69 to get 345.

$$sort(345\times 20,125\times 8\times 5,4\times 11\times 25,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 345 and 20 to get 6900.

$$sort(6900,125\times 8\times 5,4\times 11\times 25,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 125 and 8 to get 1000.

$$sort(6900,1000\times 5,4\times 11\times 25,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 1000 and 5 to get 5000.

$$sort(6900,5000,4\times 11\times 25,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 4 and 11 to get 44.

$$sort(6900,5000,44\times 25,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 44 and 25 to get 1100.

$$sort(6900,5000,1100,125\times 8\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 125 and 8 to get 1000.

$$sort(6900,5000,1100,1000\times 17,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 1000 and 17 to get 17000.

$$sort(6900,5000,1100,17000,2\times 17\times 50)$$

Multiply 2 and 17 to get 34.

$$sort(6900,5000,1100,17000,34\times 50)$$

Multiply 34 and 50 to get 1700.

$$sort(6900,5000,1100,17000,1700)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 6900.

$$6900$$

Insert 5000 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$5000,6900$$

Insert 1100 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1100,5000,6900$$

Insert 17000 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1100,5000,6900,17000$$

Insert 1700 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1100,1700,5000,6900,17000$$

Evaluate

$$6900,\ 5000,\ 1100,\ 17000,\ 1700$$
