...figure is 7, with a — 10 written after the mantissa. From this we may formulate the following rule : The characteristic of the logarithm of a number less than 1 is found by subtracting from 9 the number of ciphers between the decimal point and the first significant... | |

...since this number is between 10 and 100; of 8964.2 is 3, since this number is between 1000 and 10,000. The characteristic of the logarithm of a number less than 1 is one greater negatively than the number of zeros preceding the first significant figure. Thus the characteristic... | |
