Log x = 3.76, where x = antilog 3.76. A characteristic of log x = 3, a mantissa of log x = .76. In the table of antilog, look for .76 in extreme left column and 0 in top row. Now look at the number at intersection of row containing .76 and column containing 0. The number is 5754. Note that the place between first nonzero digit and its next digit is called 'reference position' e.g 3^76 -- ref-position is between 3 and 7. Here reference position is between 5 and 7. The characteristic is 3, so the decimal point in 5754 will be after three digits right to the ref-position. x = 5754.
