Logarithms

Complex mathematical problems with numerical expressions that involve multiplication and division of rational powers of

large numbers can be simplified by using logarithms and the laws related to it.

Consider:

If ‘N’ and ‘a’ are any two positive real numbers, and for some real number ‘x’, ax = N, then ‘x’ is called the logarithm of ‘N’ to

the base ‘a’.

Please note that logarithms of only positive real numbers are defined. That is, ‘N’ must be greater than 0.

Here, ax = N is the exponential form, while x = logaN is the logarithmic form.

Consider: 42 = 16

In this exponential form, 4 is the base, 2 is the exponent, and 16 is the value.

Its logarithmic form will be:

Log416 = 2

Consider: log232 = 5

In this logarithmic form, 2 is the base, and the value of the logarithm is 5. The exponential form will be:

25 = 32

A logarithm to the base 10 is called a common logarithm. Generally, the base as 10 in common logarithms is not

mentioned, and they are read as log 2, log 3, log 10, and so on. In other words, if the base is not mentioned, then the base

is considered as 10.

The laws of logarithms that help to solve complex calculations:

Logarithm of a product (Product Law):

Logarithm of a quotient (Quotient Law):

Logarithm of a power (Power Law):
