...a positive mantissa, it is — 1 + the mantissa. Therefore, the characteristic is —1. Similarly, if the number is greater than .001 and less than .01, the log is between — 2 and — 3, which is written — 3 + the mantissa. Thus, the characteristic is... | |

... decimal point. Characteristic of 1=0. 10 = 1. 100 = 2. 1000 = 3. etc. We have likewise observed that if a number is greater than .1 and less than 1, its log is between 0 and — 1; or, since we always use a positive mantissa, it is — 1 + the mantissa....
