...by —3 plus a decimal, and so on. 22. Hence we see that the logarithms of most numbers must consist of two parts, an integral part and a decimal part. The integral part is called the characteristic or index of the logarithm. The characteristic may always be determined by the following RULE. The characteristic... | |
