Times tables
Because they are tables of the numbers that are the result of "times"-ing a number.
Suppose you want to divide x by y Find log(x) and log(y) to any base b (usually 10 or e) Calculate z = log(x) - log(y) Look up the antilog of z (or find the number whose log is z). x/y = antilog(z)
Is it 12
