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.
