Logarithm Calculator

A logarithm is the inverse of exponentiation. Log base b of x asks the question: what power do I raise b to in order to get x? Log base 10 of 1000 is 3 because 10 cubed equals 1000. Logarithms turn multiplication into addition and exponentiation into multiplication, which is why

What is a logarithm?
A logarithm is the inverse of exponentiation. Log base b of x asks the question: what power do I raise b to in order to get x? Log base 10 of 1000 is 3 because 10 cubed equals 1000. Logarithms turn multiplication into addition and exponentiation into multiplication, which is why they were a calculation lifesaver before electronic calculators existed.
What is the difference between natural log, common log, and arbitrary base?
Common log uses base 10 (often written as just "log"). Natural log uses base e (about 2.71828) and is written ln. Any other base must be written explicitly, like log base 2. They are all the same operation; you can convert between them using the change-of-base formula: log base a of x equals log base b of x divided by log base b of a.
When are logs used in real life?
The Richter scale for earthquakes is base 10 logarithmic. Decibels for sound, pH for acidity, and stellar magnitudes are all log scales. Compound interest and population growth are exponential and become linear when plotted on a log scale. In computer science, log base 2 measures the time complexity of binary search and many divide-and-conquer algorithms.
Why is log of zero or a negative number undefined?
Because no real exponent of a positive base produces zero or a negative result. b to any real power is always positive. The calculator returns an error if you try to take the log of zero (which approaches negative infinity) or a negative number (which has no real logarithm but does have a complex one, beyond the scope of this tool).
What is the change-of-base formula?
Log base a of x equals log base b of x divided by log base b of a, for any valid base b. This is how scientific calculators with only ln and log buttons compute logs in arbitrary bases. The calculator uses this formula internally, so you can request any base without being limited to 10 or e.
What is the most common error when working with logs?
Confusing log of a sum with sum of logs. Log(a + b) is not log a plus log b; that identity only works for products: log(a * b) equals log a plus log b. Similarly, log of a power becomes the exponent times the log: log(a to the n) equals n times log a. Memorising the three identities (product, quotient, power) prevents most algebra slips.
