Solve {l}{76:4}{56:4}{92:4}{72:4}{36:2}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 76 : 4 } \\ { 56 : 4 } \\ { 92 : 4 } \\ { 72 : 4 } \\ { 36 : 2 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$14,18,18,19,23$$

Solution Steps

Divide 76 by 4 to get 19.

$$sort(19,\frac{56}{4},\frac{92}{4},\frac{72}{4},\frac{36}{2})$$

Divide 56 by 4 to get 14.

$$sort(19,14,\frac{92}{4},\frac{72}{4},\frac{36}{2})$$

Divide 92 by 4 to get 23.

$$sort(19,14,23,\frac{72}{4},\frac{36}{2})$$

Divide 72 by 4 to get 18.

$$sort(19,14,23,18,\frac{36}{2})$$

Divide 36 by 2 to get 18.

$$sort(19,14,23,18,18)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 19.

$$19$$

Insert 14 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$14,19$$

Insert 23 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$14,19,23$$

Insert 18 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$14,18,19,23$$

Insert 18 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$14,18,18,19,23$$

Evaluate

$$19,\ 14,\ 23,\ 18,\ 18$$
