The summary is:"In summary, to find the value of N by using a table, we can use the formula $\log(N) = -1 + 0.52412$ and then solve for N. The given table provides values for N and their corresponding logarithms, which can be used to find the value of N by plugging in the logarithm into the formula. It is important to note that the table does not provide values for all possible logarithms, so some calculations may need to be done manually."

Not sure what you mean by "using a table". That would depend on what sort of tables you have available.

If $\log(N) = -1 + 0.52412$ then $N = 10^{-1}\times 10^{0.52412}$. My calculator gives $10^{0.52412} \approx 3.3428739$. So $N\approx 3.3428739 \times 10^{-1}.$
