...table of logarithms of all numbers, which are involved in or which result from, such operations.s 6. The integral part of a logarithm is called its characteristic, and the decimal part its mantissa? 7- The characteristic of a logarithm is less by 1 than the number of integral places in the number....

...figures being between 100 and 1000, its logarithm must be 2 and a decimal. Thus, log 829=2-9185545. The integral part of a logarithm is called its characteristic, and the decimal part is called its mantissa. Hence, from the above instances, we may deduce the rule that the characteristic...

...— 1 + a fraction 0.1 and 0.01 is -2 + a fraction 0.01 and 0.001 is -3 + a fraction and so on. 400. The integral part of a logarithm is called its characteristic; and the fractional part, which is commonly expressed as a decimal, is called its mantissa. Thus, in the logarithm...

...fraction, and so on. The logarithms of most numbers, therefore, consist of an integer and a fraction. The integral part of a logarithm is called its characteristic, and the decimal part is called its mantissa. The characteristic may be known from the following RULE. The characteristic...

...gained by using 8 — 10 instead of — 2, as will be explained later on. 68. The integral part of the logarithm is called its characteristic, and the decimal...number is not an integral power of 10, may be found by observing between what adjacent integral powers of 10 the number lies. 69. From Art. 66 we see that...

...of 10, will consist of an integral anda decimal part. Thus, log 825=2.9165, to four decimal places.* The integral part of a logarithm is called its characteristic, and the decimal part is called its mantissa. 275. Determination of the characteristic. A number having one figure in its...
