Natural Logarithms
•The logarithm to the base e; where e is the sum of infinite
series are called natural logarithms (e=2.7183 approx.).
•They are used in theoretical calculations

![Page 20: Introduction to Logarithm](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020920/58ae3df31a28abad338b4b15/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Common Logarithm
• Logarithm to the base 10 are called common logarithm.
• They are used in numerical (Practical) calculations.
• Thus when no base is mentioned in numerical
calculations, the base is always understood to be 10.

Standard form of a number n • Any positive decimal or number say ‘n’ can be written in
the form of integral power of 10 say 10p (where p is an integer) and a number m between 1 and 10.
• Therefore n = m x 10p
• where p is an integer (positive, negative or zero) and m is such that 1≤m<10. This is called the standard form of n.
Example- Write the Standard Form for the following (1) 259.8 (2) 25.98 (3) 0.2598 (4) 0.02598

Characteristic and Mantissa • The logarithm of a number consist of two parts, the whole
part or integral part is called the characteristic and decimal part is called Mantissa.
• Mantissa is always positive and always less than 1.
• The characteristic is determined by bringing the given number n to the standard form n=m x 10p, in which p (the power of 10) gives the characteristic and the mantissa is found from the logarithmic table.

Rules to find Characterstic

Rule 1 • The characteristic of the logarithm of any number greater
than 1 is positive and is one less than the number of digits to the left of the decimal point in the given number.
Example: Consider the following table
27
Number Characteristic 48 1 3578 3 8.31 0
![Page 28: Introduction to Logarithm](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020920/58ae3df31a28abad338b4b15/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rule 2 • The characteristic of the logarithm of any number less
than 1 is negative and numerically one more than the number of zeros to the right of the decimal point. If there is no zero then obviously it will be -1.
Example: Consider the following table
28
Number Characteristic .6 -1
.09 -2
.00657 -3
.000852 -4

Mantissa • The Mantissa of the common logarithm of a number can
be found from a log-table.

What is Log Table

![Page 31: Introduction to Logarithm](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020920/58ae3df31a28abad338b4b15/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How to use the Log Table to find Mantissa
1. Remove the decimal point from the given number. 2. Consider the first two digits. 3. In horizontal row beginning with above two digits, read
the number under column headed by 3rd digit (from the left) of the number.
4. To the number obtained above, add the number in the same horizontal line under the mean difference columns headed by 4th digit (from the left) of the number.
5. Then pre-fix the decimal point to the number obtained in 4th point above.

Example • Suppose we have to find the log 125.6
• Here characteristic is 3 – 1 = 2
• For Mantissa, which is the positive decimal part.
• First remove decimal point, number becomes 1256
• The first two digits are 12, the third is 5 and fourth is 6

Example- Continued
Mantissa = 0.(0969+ 21) = 0.0990 log 125.6 = 2 + 0.0990 = 2.0990

Anti Logarithm • The reverse process of finding the logarithm is called
Antilogarithm i.e. to find the number. • If x is the logarithm of a given number n with given base
‘a’ then n is called antilogarithm or antilog of x to that base.
• Mathematically, if logan = x Then n = antilog x

Example Find the number whose logarithm is 2.0239
From the Antilog Table For mantissa .023, the number = 1054 For mean difference 9, the number = 2 Therefore for mantissa .0239, the number = 1054 + 2 = 1056
37
![Page 38: Introduction to Logarithm](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020920/58ae3df31a28abad338b4b15/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Example- Continued Here the characteristic is 2 Therefore the number must have 3 digits in the integral part. Hence antilog 2.0239 = 105.6
