How it was calculated

  1. log_10(1,000) = ln(1,000) / ln(10) (change of base)
  2. = 6.907755278982 / 2.302585092994
  3. = 3
  4. Check: 10^3 = 1,000

How the log calculator works

A logarithm answers the question "what power do I raise the base to, to get this number?" log_b(x) = y means b^y = x. So log₁₀(1000) = 3 because 10³ = 1000.

Calculators usually only have ln (base e ≈ 2.71828) and log (base 10), so other bases use the change-of-base rule: log_b(x) = ln(x) / ln(b). This calculator applies it for any base and shows the check b^y = x.

Logs are only defined for positive numbers, and the base must be positive and not equal to 1.
