The common logarithm of a number is the index of the power to which 10 must be raised to be equal to the number. Thus lO to the power of 3 equals lOOO, so that the logarithm of 1000 (usually written log. 1000) is 3. It is evident that the logarithm of any number greater than 1 and less than 10 is fractional; the logarithm of any number greater than...
