Evaluate log(500)
Evaluate logarithms — log, ln, and any base — step by step.
To evaluate log(500), find the exponent you must raise 10 to in order to get 500. When no base is written, log means base 10 (the common logarithm).
log(x) without a specified base means the common logarithm (base 10):
log(500) = log10(500) = n means 10n = 500
log(500) does not equal a simple integer. Use the definition:
log(500) ≈ 2.698970
This means 10^2.698970 ≈ 500.
log(500) ≈ 2.698970

Frequently asked questions
What is the answer to log(500)?
The answer is 2.698970.
What method is used?
log(x) is the common logarithm (base 10). ln(x) is the natural logarithm (base e). log base b of x asks: what power of b gives x?
