How to find log easily sir plaese help me with the log.

Open in App
Solution

first of all, remember the following basic log values (its no harm to remember these even if you have log table).

log 2 = 0.301

log 3 = 0.477

log 5 = 0.699

log 7 = 0.845


these four values can be applied to calculate the log of any number (size does not matter).


and a formula:

log(a+b)=log a + ( b / (2.42*a) )

main method();

for example consider a small value:

log 737=?

=>log (737) = log (7.37 * 10^2)

=>log (7.37 ) + log (10^2) [ log mn = log m + log n]

=>log (7.37) +2 [ log 10^n = n]

=>log(7 + 0.37) + 2

now apply the formula:

=>log(7)+ 0.37/2.42*7 + 2

it comes out to be 2.867

which the log value for 737.

now this technique can be applied to any number.
