To help a simpleton.</p>

Pls look at the following table. Then look at the explanation under it. I cannot for the life of me find how they arrive at the cost figure. Please help me !</p><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="469" border="1"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 235px">

Use Table3.2 to calculate the cost of each site link based on WAN link speed. For WAN link speed that is not listed in the table, you can calculate a relative cost factor by dividing 1024 by the log of the available bandwith as measured in Kbps</p>

 

You need the logarithm.

Open the calculator in windows and select the scientific option and you can get them there

 

Grab a scientific calculator...

do (e.g.)
1024/log9.6 = 1042.48

 

RE: Grab a scientific calculator...

Jonno</p>

If I type 1024 and press ln, it gives me 6.9314</p>

If I type 1024 and press log it gives me 3.010</p>

What am I doing wrong ?</p>

</p>

T I A</p>

 

ln is the natural log which is different to the log

 

Arrgghhhhhhhhhhh

But where is it mate.</p>

I've had a shitty long day and I won't sleep if I can't work it out</p>

:'( </p>

 

Sussed it !

Cheers for your help chaps.</p>

Tomorrow I'm going to have a go at 100s, 10s and units.</p>

 

Well I thought I had. Grrrrrr nt

 

Now I have again.

Like Jonno said but for reference (reminder to self) like Jonno put except type :-</p>

1024/9.6log=</p>

 

I used a proper calculator

The one on the computer is different I've just realised!

 

Cheers again.

Strange how simple it is in daylight at the start of a new day.</p>
