Evaluate logarithms — log, ln, and any base — step by step.
Expression
Answer
1.698970
To evaluate log(50), find the exponent you must raise 10 to in order to get 50. When no base is written, log means base 10 (the common logarithm).
Step 1 — Write the definition
log(x) without a specified base means the common logarithm (base 10):
log(50) = log10(50) = n means 10n = 50
Step 2 — Evaluate
log(50) does not equal a simple integer. Use the definition:
log(50) ≈ 1.698970
This means 10^1.698970 ≈ 50.
log(50) ≈ 1.698970
