HOW CAN BE FIND ANTILOGARITHMS?
 Find the antilog of 2.6992 .

The number before the decimal point is 2, so the decimal point will be after the first 3 digits.

From the antilog table, read off the row for .69 and column of 9; the number given in the table is 5000. The mean difference in the same row and under the column 2 is 2. To get the inverse of mantissa add 5000 + 2 = 5002.

Now place a decimal point after the first 3 digits and you get the number 500.2

Thus antilog 2.6992 = 500.2
