Frequently asked questions

A logarithm answers the question: to what power must the base be raised to get this number? For example, log base 10 of 1000 is 3 because 10³ = 1000.

The natural log, written ln, is the logarithm to base e (about 2.71828). It appears throughout maths, science and finance.

Using the change-of-base rule: log_b(n) = ln(n) ÷ ln(b). This calculator uses that formula so it works for any base you enter.

Logarithms are only defined for positive numbers, and the base must be positive and not equal to 1, so the calculator requires positive inputs.

Enter the number. Enter the base. Read off your logarithm (log_base of number), together with natural log (ln) and log base 10 — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.
