Useful tools for rapid and accurate Computation and avoiding an error of omitting/writing a zero is called

  • A.logarithms
  • B.matrix
  • C.linear equation
  • D.factorization

Answer: A

Logarithms turn multiplication into addition and division into subtraction:

\[ \log(ab) = \log a + \log b, \qquad \log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \log a - \log b \]

Long products and quotients become short sums, and because the characteristic records the power of ten separately, a stray zero cannot be gained or lost. That was their whole purpose before calculators.
