How To Find Log by Using Simple Calculator

The document provides instructions for finding logarithms using a basic calculator. It explains that by repeatedly taking the square root of 2.7183 and subtracting 1, you get a value that can be used to calculate logarithms. You write the number you want to find the log of, take its square root 12 times, subtract 1, divide by the initial value, and press equals to get the log base e. To convert to log base 10, the answer is multiplied by 0.4343. The first three steps only need to be done once to store the initial value in the calculator.

5.

WRITE 2.7183
TAP (i.e. Square Root) 12 times
DEDUCT 1
(= 0.00024417206)
PRESS M+ KEY
WRITE THE NO. OF WHICH ,YOU WANT TO FIND LOG
(E.G. LOG 5 THEN WRITE 5)
6. TAP (i.e. Square Root) 12 times
7. DEDUCT 1
8. PRESS
9. PRESS MRC
10. PRESS = (ANSWER WILL BE IN BASE

e)

IF TO FIND IN THE BASE OF 10 THEN :11. PRESS X (i.e. MULTIPLY BY) AND WRITE 0.4343
12. PRESS = (ANSWER WILL BE IN BASE 10)
NOTE :- ABOVE 1ST THEREE STEPS WILL BE COMMON SO IT IS BETTER TO
REMEMBER THE VALUE 0.00024417206

FOR EXAMPLE :- LOG 5 = 0.6990


NOW WE WANT TO FIND LOG OF 5 :1. WRITE 0.00024417206
2. TAP M+ KEY
3. WRITE THE NO. YOU WANT TO FIND THE LOG i.e. 5
4.

TAP (i.e. square root) 12 TIMES (= 1.00039300638)


DEDUCT 1 (= 0.00039300638)
TAP
TAP MRC
TAP = (1.6095 ANSWER IN BASE e )
TAP X (i.e. MULTIPLY) BY 0.4343 THEN TAP =
(0.6990 ANSWER IN BASE 10)

NOTE FOR ABOVE EXAMPLE :WE CAN DIRECTLY DIVIDE BY 0.00024417206 IN STEP 7 INSTEAD
OF USING MRC BUTTON , IN SUCH CASE , THERE IS NO NEED OF
STEP 1 & 2. YOU CAN DIRECTLY START FROM STEP -3
