How it works

Base-10 logarithm:
log₁₀(x) = ln(x) / ln(10)
Equivalent meaning:
10ʸ = x where y = log₁₀(x)

Examples

  • log₁₀(1000) = 3
  • log₁₀(100) = 2
  • log₁₀(0.1) = -1

FAQ

  • What is log base 10?

    Log base 10 asks what exponent y makes 10^y equal to x.

  • Why is log10 useful?

    Base-10 logarithms are common in scientific notation, orders of magnitude, decibel-like scales, and general math.

  • Why must x be positive?

    Real logarithms are defined only for positive x.

  • Are calculations stored?
