 In general, since any number having n digits in its integral part lies between 10n-1 and 10", its logarithm lies between n - 1 and n, ie, is n - 1 + a decimal. We therefore have : (i.) The characteristic of the logarithm of a number greater than unity...  Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables - Page 50edited by - 1914 - 97 pagesFull view - About this book
