part of a common logarithm
The fractional part of a logarithm is called the Mantissa.
That is a logarithm to the base "e", where "e" is a number that is approximately 2.718.
An antilogarithm is the number of which the given number is the logarithm (to a given base). If x is the logarithm of y, then y is the antilogarithm of x.
Logarithm is often abbreviated as log. Other than that, I don't think there is another common name.

mantissa
The fractional part of a logarithm is called the Mantissa.
The decimal part of a logarithm, as distinguished from the integral part, or characteristic.
Mantissa College was created in 1999.
Mantissa - band - was created in 1989.
The natural logarithm is the logarithm having base e, whereThe common logarithm is the logarithm to base 10.You can probably find both definitions in wikipedia.
If your number was say 5280 it is easier to make it into a decimal with one number before the point:5280 = 5.280 * 10^3Then use a logarith table to find the logarith of 5280 which, from my table, is 0.7226339.This is the Mantissa.Then you look at the exponent on the ten which is 3 (5.280 * 10^3).This is your characteristic.Therefore, the common logarithm of 5280 is 3.7226339 where 3 is the characteristic and 0.7226339 is the mantissa.Hope this helps, message me if you need more info.
anti logarithm
The mantissa holds the bits which represent the number, increasing the number of bytes for the mantissa increases the number of bits for the mantissa and so increases the size of the number which can be accurately held, ie it increases the accuracy of the stored number.
The mantissa is located before the multiplication symbol and the power of 10 in scientific notation.
The common logarithm (base 10) of 2346 is 3.37. The natural logarithm (base e) is 7.76.
