Logarithm tables are mathematical charts that list the logarithms of numbers, making it easier to perform calculations involving multiplication and division. Instead of calculating products directly, users can look up the logarithms of the numbers, add or subtract them, and then find the antilogarithm to get the result. This method was especially useful before the advent of calculators. These tables were widely used by scientists, engineers, and students for quick calculations. They typically include logarithms for numbers ranging from 1 to 10,000, and they helped simplify complex arithmetic operations, saving time and reducing errors in calculations.
