how do i change the base of log?

 

Change of base

The logarithm logb(x) can be computed from the logarithms of x and b with respect to an arbitrary base k using the following formula:
logb(x)=logk(x)logk(b). ,

 

Typical scientific calculators calculate the logarithms to bases 10 and e.
Logarithms with respect to any base b can be determined using either of these two logarithms by the previous formula:
logb(x)=log10(x)log10(b)=loge(x)loge(b).

 

Given a number x and its logarithm logb(x) to an unknown base b, the base is given by:
b=x1logb(x).
