Round 2!
Okay, if the number is too big to fit on your RAOBF, the "logarithmic" is how to Figure this out.
Word.
You'll notice that the numbers go up to a certain point (say 300 or so), then the next number is like... 4, right? (or in this case (from what I glimpsed), 5)
that number is actually doing double-duty now. It not only means "5," it also means "500." The logarithmic scale of the circle (math-talk) allows the small numbers to accurately represent large numbers, also! It's the same with the inner scales, so "scale as appropriate!"

Am I speaking english?... Someone fix both of us.
