The value of logarithm as the quotient of two common logarithms is . Because
The logarithm is exponentiation's opposite function in mathematics. This means that the exponent to which a fixed number, base b, must be raised in order to produce a given number x, is represented by the logarithm of that number.
Based on the logarithm base, the logarithmic functions are broadly divided into two types. There are common and natural logarithms. Common logarithms are based on the number 10, while natural logarithms are based on the base "e." The power to which a number must be raised in order to obtain another number is known as a logarithm (see Section 3 of this Math Review for more about exponents).
