Página 5 - To divide powers of the same base, subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend.
Página 28 - The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor.
Página 12 - The characteristic of the logarithm of 5673 is 3 ; of 73254 is 4, &c. The characteristic of the logarithm of a decimal fraction is a negative number, and is equal to the number of places by which its first significant figure is removed from the place of units. Thus the logarithm of .0046 is 3 plus a fraction ; that is, the characteristic of the logarithm is -3, the first significant figure, 4, being removed three places from units.
