DeMorgan's Theorems in Boolean Algebra

DeMorgan's theorems help in simplifying Boolean algebra expressions by breaking down complex statements into simpler ones.
The equivalent of inverting the OR sum of two variables is the AND product of their inverses, i.e., (x + y)' = x' y'.
The equivalent of inverting the AND product of two variables is the OR sum of their inverses, i.e., (xy)' = x' + y'.
DeMorgan's theorems can be applied to expressions containing more than two variables by recursively breaking down the expressions into smaller ones.
The expression (x' y')' can be simplified using ANDing of inverted variables.
Applying DeMorgan's Theorem (17) to the expression (xy)' results in x' + y'.
Applying DeMorgan's Theorem (16) to the expression (A + B) results in A' B'.
