1.	What is the characteristic of the number 0.00356.
Answer» Given number = 0.00356 How to find out the characteristic of a number. A common logarithm is simply on exponent of base 10. Characteristic is the power of 10 when a number is written in scientific notation i. e., putting decimal point after one digit. For example if x = 2.567 × 10ⁿ. Then characteristic of x will be n. Now the given number = 0.00356 = 3.56 × 10^-3 Hence, the characteristic of given number = \(\bar 3\)

Given number = 0.00356

How to find out the characteristic of a number.

A common logarithm is simply on exponent of base 10.

Characteristic is the power of 10 when a number is written in scientific notation i. e., putting decimal point after one digit.

For example if x = 2.567 × 10ⁿ.

Then characteristic of x will be n.

Now the given number = 0.00356 = 3.56 × 10^-3

Hence, the characteristic of given number = \(\bar 3\)
