...between 1 and 2 ; if a number lies between 100 and 1000 its logarithm lies between 2 and 3 : and so on. The integral part of a logarithm is called the characteristic, and the decimal part is called the mantissa; thus as the logarithm of any number between 100 and 1000 is greater than 2 and less than 3, it is equal... | |

...numbers less than a unit by a negative integer and a positive fraction is merely a matter of convenience. The integral part of a logarithm is called the characteristic, and the decimal part the mantissa. Thus, the characteristic of the logarithm 3.1784 is 3, and the mantissa .1784. 242i The... | |
