large numbers

Quick calculations with a few logarithms

If you can remember a few logarithms, you can do many calculations quite easily
I am Vineet Patawari - PGDM (IIM Indore),
without the aid of calculators or computers. ACA, B.Com(H). My passion for Mathematics,
specially Vedic Maths encouraged me to start
Try to remember the logarithms of just seven numbers: QuickerMaths

Log 2 = 0.30, log 3 = 0.48, log 7 = 0.85, log 11= 1.04, log 13= 1.11, log 17 = 1.23 I believe that if trained properly using
and log 19=1.28. powerful tools like Vedic Maths, the immense
intellect of human mind can be ignited

The logarithm of a composite number is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its
prime factors; you can formulate the following table of logarithms:

Note: Logarithm of 11 is 1.04. It means log 1.1 = 0.04. Log 5 = log (10/2) = log10 – of a number

1. What is 2 raised to power 37?

Shortcut to Find Square of

Logarithm of 2 is 0.30. a Number
37 times 0.30 is 11.10 65 Comments

Since logarithm of 1.2 is 0.08 and logarithm of 1.3 is 0.11, antilog of 0.10 is about
1.26.

So antilog of 11.10 is 1.26 * 10^11.

That is 2^37 = 1.26 * 10^11.

2. What is the 31st root of a 35 digit number?

This can be answered even without knowing the number.

Log of 35th digit number is 34. …

Log of 31st root   = 34. …./ 31

This lies between 34/31 and 34.99/31   or between 1.09 and 1.13.

From the above table, we can see that in this interval, logarithm of 13 is 1.11.

So, 31st root of a 35 digit number is 13.

3. What is the 64th root of a 20 digit number? Answer is 2.

4. What is the cube root of say 74567?

Log of 74567 = 4.873  (interpolating between log 7 =0.85 and log 8 = 0.90).

4.873 / 3 = 1.624.

Antilog of 0.624 is 4.24 (because log 4 = 0.60 and log 5 = 0.70).

So, cube root of 74567 is about 42.4
