...number. If the natural number have no integer places, then the characteristic is a negative quantity one more than the number of zeros between the decimal point and the first significant figure. 31. Hence, referring to the table given above we shall find: log 295-24 = 2-4701752 log 29-547 = 1-4705134... | |
