Question

Can anyone explain me"Characteristic and Mantissa" with an example.

? ⭐✨​

Answer 1

The integral part of a common logarithm is called the characteristic and the non-negative decimal part is called the mantissa. Suppose, log 39.2 = 1.5933, then 1 is the characteristic and 5933 is the mantissa of the logarithm. ... 9742 is the mantissa of the logarithm.
