+Benford's Law, also known as the first-digit law, describes the counter-intuitive phenomenon that in many naturally occurring sets of numbers, the digit 1 appears as the leading digit far more often than other digits. This [probability distribution](/wiki/Probability_Distribution) predicts a logarithmic decay in frequency for higher leading digits. It finds applications in detecting [fraud](/wiki/Fraud) and verifying data integrity.
