Logarithms turn multiplication into addition, which is much faster. The same applies for division, except that the logs are subtracted. Using logarithms, finding roots or powers is easy. For example, the square root of a number can be found using 1/2 times the logarithm (plus one more step). Finding square roots is something that happens often in algebra. If you did not have a calculator, square roots would be hard without logarithms.
The square root of a number is the number that is squared, or multiplied by itself, to get the number. The square root of 913,936 is 956. *Click the included link to learn the traditional method (Meaning without a calculator) of finding square roots: http://www.homeschoolmath.net/teaching/square-root-algorithm.phpand look for the subtitle: Finding square roots using an algorithm
