Consider a macrostate defined as follows :

j=1 j=2 j=3
\epsilon_{1} \epsilon_{2} \epsilon_{3}
C_{1}=5 C_{2}=6 C_{3}=3
N_{1}=2 N_{2}=5 N_{3}=1

The system parameters are evaluated as: E=2\epsilon_{1}+ 5\epsilon_{2}+\epsilon_{3} N=8.

We can construct many microstates consistent with the system, for example:

In our proposed counting approach, let us first consider step (2) for a group of C_{j} states containing N_{j} indistinguishable particles.
