Abstract
A digital circuit computes the logarithm of a number. The circuit makes the computation by first determining a multiplicity of factors f.sub.i from a predetermined set of factors such that the product of the multiplicity of factors f.sub.i and the number equals the base of the logarithm. A memory stores the logarithms of all the numbers in the predetermined set. The circuit then looks-up and sums the logarithms of the multiplicity of factors f.sub.i, and then subtracts the sum from one to yield the logarithm of the number.
