A) 51
B) 52
C) 3
D) Cannot be determined

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of digits in a number N can be found using the formula for the number of digits in base 10, which is $\lceil \log_{10} N \rceil$. Given $\log N \approx 51.2$, this implies $\log_{10} N \approx 51.2$. Therefore, N has approximately 52 digits, since the number of digits is the integer part of the logarithm plus one.
