How can I solve this?

Construct a digital system that takes in a single decimal digit and outputs the remainder when the input number is divided by 7. Construct the truth table

    Let's first write the input and output using decimals:

    x | y

    0 | 0

    1 | 1

    2 | 2

    3 | 3

    4 | 4

    5 | 5

    6 | 6

    7 | 0

    8 | 1

    9 | 2

    Now write it as bits. 

    The input can be 0-9 which requires 4 bits.

    The output is 0-6 which requires 3 bits.

    x3 x2 x1 x0 | y2 y1 y0

    0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0

    0 0 0 1 | 0 0 1

    0 0 1 0 | 0 1 0

    0 0 1 1 | 0 1 1

    0 1 0 0 | 1 0 0

    0 1 0 1 | 1 0 1

    0 1 1 0 | 1 1 0

    0 1 1 1 | 0 0 0

    1 0 0 0 | 0 0 1

    1 0 0 1 | 0 1 0

    1 0 1 0 | x x x

    1 0 1 1 | x x x

    1 1 0 0 | x x x

    1 1 0 1 | x x x

    1 1 1 0 | x x x

    1 1 1 1 | x x x

    The rows for 10 to 15 have "don't care" values for the outputs because we should only ever get 0-9 as an input.

    Now solve for each of the 3 bits in the output, using Karnaugh maps and build the reduced circuit.
