How to use Logarithm calculator

  1. Enter the number you want the logarithm of.
  2. Choose the base, or pick natural log, or switch to antilog.
  3. Read the result and the working beneath it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take the log of a negative number?

Not with real numbers. A positive base raised to any real power is always positive, so logs are only defined for values above zero. Complex logs exist but are a different topic.

What is the change of base formula?

The log of x in base b equals ln(x) divided by ln(b). It lets you compute any base using only a natural or common log.

What is an antilog?

The antilog undoes a logarithm. If log base 10 of x is 2, the antilog of 2 is 10 to the power 2, which is 100.
