Logarithms

Two Very Important Base

Properties of Log
Characteristic and Mantissa
log10 100 = 2 and log10 1000 = 3

log10 225 = 2.3522

Characteristic = 2 (Integer Part)

Mantissa = 0.3522 (Fractional Part)

[2.3522] = 2
{2.3522} = 0.3522
characteristic of log of 1 with base 10 = 0
characteristic of log of 10 with base 10 = 1
characteristic of log of 100 with base 10 = 2
characteristic of log of 1000 with base 10 = 3
characteristic of log of 83.5609 with base 10 = 1
characteristic of log of 613.0965 with base 10 = 2

If characteristic of log10 N = 2
⇒ log10 N = 2.something
⇒ N is 3 digit number
⇒ Number of digits in N = characteristic + 1

characteristic of log of 0.1 with base 10 = -1
characteristic of log of 0.01 with base 10 = -2
characteristic of log of 0.001 with base 10 = -3
characteristic of log of 0.03 with base 10 = -2
characteristic of log of 0.003 with base 10 = -3

characteristic of log10 0.03 = -2 characteristic of log10 N = -p

⇒ log10 0.03 = -1.something
⇒ Number of zeros after decimal in N = (2-1) ⇒ Number of zeros
after decimal in N = (p-1)
