the way to get natural logarithm of x is l(x)
When you start bc type bc -l or mc --mathlib to make the math library
available.
Also type
man bc
to get more about the capabilities of bc.
Hope this helps.

OK. Thank you everybody, now I can do divisions. But now I'm getting a
bit more complicated... how can I do logarithms (eg. ln 5 = 1.6094...) ?
thanks again
joerg
Or you could just use:
'bc -l' on invocation to get bc to treat numbers as 'longs'

Hi:
Re using bc.
Start bc.
then type scale=5 ( for five decimal places for example)
Then you can do your divisions.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
I have a lot of data that has to be processed, means 100 numbers having
to be divided by another 100 numbers. I did a job like this for adding
numbers to others by
bc < input-file > output-file
with input-file:
one # eg. 199+243
operation # 198+392
per
8 matches
