📊 Logarithm Calculator

Calculate log₂, log₁₀, natural log (ln), and custom base logarithms

Logarithm Reference

Common Logarithms

log₁₀(1)= 0
log₁₀(10)= 1
log₁₀(100)= 2
log₂(2)= 1
log₂(8)= 3
ln(e)= 1
ln(1)= 0

Logarithm Laws

log(xy) = log(x) + log(y)
log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
log(xⁿ) = n·log(x)
logₐ(x) = ln(x)/ln(a)Change of base formula

About Logarithm Calculator - Log2, Log10, Natural Log (ln)

Calculate logarithms with any base: log₂, log₁₀, natural log (ln), and custom bases. Step-by-step solutions included.

Our **Logarithm Calculator** computes logarithms with any base you need. Calculate common logarithm (log₁₀), natural logarithm (ln), binary logarithm (log₂), or logarithms with custom bases. Each result includes step-by-step explanations. For exponential growth analysis, see our Compound Interest Calculator.

Logarithms are the inverse of exponential functions—if b^x = y, then log_b(y) = x. They're fundamental in science, engineering, finance, and computer science. Log₂ is essential for computer science, log₁₀ for scientific notation, and ln for calculus. Explore more math tools like our Imaginary Number Calculator.

Understanding logarithmic scales helps interpret earthquake magnitudes (Richter scale), sound levels (decibels), and pH values. Our calculator handles change of base, logarithmic properties, and provides exact values when possible. For derivative applications, try our Tangent Line Calculator.
