How to Use the Logarithms Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to calculate logarithms using the Logarithms Calculator. The calculator allows you to compute natural logarithms (ln), common logarithms (log₁₀), or logarithms with a custom base.

Step 1: Enter the Base (if using Custom Logarithm)

If you plan to use a logarithm with a custom base, first enter the base in the field labeled Base (b). Ensure the base is a positive number greater than zero. The input field for the base will accept decimal numbers and will require a minimum value of 0.000001.

Step 2: Enter the Number

Enter the number for which you wish to compute the logarithm in the field labeled Number (x). This field also accepts decimal numbers, with a required minimum value of 0.000001. This number is your input for the logarithm calculation.

Step 3: Select the Logarithm Type

  • Choose Natural Logarithm (ln) if you want to calculate the natural logarithm of the number.
  • Select Common Logarithm (log₁₀) to compute the common logarithm (base 10) of the number.
  • Opt for Custom Base Logarithm (logb) if you wish to use the base you entered earlier.

Make a selection that matches your calculation need, as this will determine the formula the calculator employs.

Step 4: View the Results

Once you’ve entered the number and selected the logarithm type, the calculator will display various results:

  • Logarithm Result: This is the main output and gives you the logarithm of the input number according to the chosen base, shown with up to six decimal places.
  • Exponential Form: This value represents the number you would obtain by raising the base (e for natural, 10 for common, custom base otherwise) to the logarithm result.
  • Inverse (Antilogarithm): This is the antilog of the logarithm result, effectively reversing the logarithm operation to give you back the original number (or a close approximation).

Use these outputs to analyze the logarithmic and exponential relationships relevant to your calculations.
