...This law enables us to replace multiplication by addition with the aid of a table of logarithms. (b) The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor. From (1) and (2) above we have, applying...

...whence Iog6 q = n. Then pq = bmbn = 6m+n. Therefore log6 pq = m + n why? = log6 p + logi, q. 8. Theorem. The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor. Let p = bm and q = bn, whence log6 p...

...+ i' .-. log mn = x + y = log m + log n. Similarly log mnp = log m + log n + log p. Theorem II. — The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the difference of the logarithms of the numbers. Let log m = x .-. m = lCP log n = yn=10» • ™-!2!=lOx-<" n 10" .•....

...at a time. Thus, the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the several factors. (2) The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the numerator minus the logarithm of the denominator. Let us use the same numbers as in...

...calculation: 1. The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. 2. The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the dividend less the logarithm of the divisor. 3. The logarithm of a number affected...

...that the logarithm of the product of numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithms of those numbers, the logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the logarithm of the numerator diminished by the logarithm of the denominator, the logarithm of a power...
