Logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation.

First, we see about exponentiation,

Exponentiation is an expression that involves two numbers, a base and an exponent, where an exponent is mathematical shorthand representing how many times a number is multiplied against itself.

Example

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

25 = 64

with same above entries, Now we see about Logarithm, i.e Inverse function to exponentiation

log2 2 = 1

log2 4 = 2

log2 8 = 3

log2 16 = 4

log2 32 = 5

log2 64 = 6

Logarithm Formulas Used In Our Calculators

1. Log Formula

logb(x) = y

x = logb(bx)

logb(x) = y is equivalent to x = by

(logb(x) => This read as log base b of x is equals to y )

b: log base number, b>0 and b≠1

x: is real number, x>0

2. Natural Logarithm or Logarithm Base e Formula

Log base e is also called as natural logarithm.

Natural logarithm symbol is ln.

ln(x) = y

ln(x) is equivalent to loge(x)

x: is real number, x > 0

3. Common Logarithm or Logarithm Base 10 Formula

Log base 10 is also called as common logarithm.

log10(x) = y is equivalent to x = 10y

log10(x) = log(x)

x: is real number, x>0

4. Binary Logarithm or Logarithm Base 2 Formula

Log base 2 is also called as binary logarithm.

log2(x) = y is equivalent to x = 2y

x: is real number, x>0

5. Antilogarithm (or Inverse logarithm) Formula

Calculate the inverse logarithm of a number.

When

y = logb x

The anti-logarithm is calculated by raising the base b to the logarithm y

x = logb-1(y) = b y

List Of Logarithmic Laws or Rules or Identities

Important formulas, sometimes called logarithmic identities or logarithmic laws.They are

Logarithm of a Product

logb (xy) = logb x + logb y

Example

log3 243 = log3 (9 . 27) = log3 9 + log3 27 = 2 + 3 = 5

Logarithm of a Quotient

logb (x/y) = logb x - logb y

Example

log2 16 = log2 (64/4) = log2 64 - log2 4 = 6 - 2 = 4

Logarithm of a Power

logb (xp) = p logb x

The logarithm of an power number where its base is the same as the base of the log equals the power.

Example

log2 64 = log2 (26) = 6 log2 2 = 6

Logarithm of a Root

logb  px = (logb x) / p

Example

log101000 = (1 / 2) . log10 1000 = 3 / 2 = 1.5

Logarithm of Zero

logb (1) = 0

The logarithm of 1 with b > 1 equals zero.

Logarithm of Identity

logb (b) = 1

The logarithm of a number that is equal to its base is just 1.

Logarithm of Exponent

blogb (k) = k

Raising the logarithm of a number by its base equals the number.

Change of Base

logb (x) = (logk (x)) / (logk (b))
