Mantissa (/ m æ n ˈ t ɪ s ə /) may refer to: Mantissa (logarithm) , the fractional part of the common (base-10) logarithm Significand (also commonly called mantissa), the significant digits of a floating-point number or a number in scientific notation
The significand [1] (also coefficient, [1] sometimes argument, [2] or more ambiguously mantissa, [3] fraction, [4] [5] [nb 1] or characteristic [6] [3]) is the first (left) part of a number in scientific notation or related concepts in floating-point representation, consisting of its significant digits.

This digit string is referred to as the significand, mantissa, or coefficient. [nb 1] The length of the significand determines the precision to which numbers can be represented. The radix point position is assumed always to be somewhere within the significand—often just after or just before the most significant digit, or to the right of the ...
The fractional part is known as the mantissa. [ b ] Thus, log tables need only show the fractional part. Tables of common logarithms typically listed the mantissa, to four or five decimal places or more, of each number in a range, e.g. 1000 to 9999.
