Excerpt from Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables
To move the decimal point in a given number one place to the right is equivalent to adding one unit to its logarithm, because this is equivalent to multiplying the given number by 10. Likewise, to move the decimal point one place to the left is equivalent to subtracting one unit from the logarithm. Hence, moving the decimal point any number of places to the right or left does not change the mantissa but only the characteristic.
