In mathematics, the common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10. [1] . It is also known as the decadic logarithm and as the decimal logarithm, named after its base, or Briggsian logarithm, after Henry Briggs, an English mathematician who pioneered its use, as well as standard logarithm.
In common logarithmic function, the base of the logarithmic function is 10. Log10 or log represents this function. In natural logarithmic function, the base of the logarithmic function is e. Loge or ln represents this function. The value of log 1 to 10 ( common logarithm- log 10 x) is listed here.
Common Logarithms: Base 10. Sometimes a logarithm is written without a base, like this: log(100) This usually means that the base is really 10. It is called a "common logarithm". Engineers love to use it. On a calculator it is the "log" button. It is how many times we need to use 10 in a multiplication, to get our desired number.
A common logarithm has a fixed base of 10. The common log of a number N is expressed as; log 10 N or log N. Common logarithms are also known as decadic logarithm and decimal logarithm.
Logarithm is nothing but another way of expressing exponents and can be used to solve problems that cannot be solved using the concept of exponents only. Understanding logs is not so difficult. To understand logarithms, it is sufficient to know that a logarithmic equation is just another way of writing an exponential equation.
The common logarithm is the logarithm to base 10. The notation logx is used by physicists, engineers, and calculator keypads to denote the common logarithm. However, mathematicians generally use the same symbol to mean the natural logarithm ln, lnx.
Our calculators allow us to use logarithms to base 10. These are called common logarithms (" log " on a calculator). We normally do not include the 10 when we write logarithms to base 10 .
