For example, the logarithm base 10 of 100 is the power to which you raise 10 to obtain 100.  Because 10 to the power of 2 equals 100, the logarithm of 100 is 2:

There are formulas for converting logarithms having different bases.  To find a logarithm with base ''b'' using another base ''c'', use the following identity:
    
: <math> \log_b(x) = \frac{\log_c(x)}{\log_c(b)} </math>
 
: <math> \log_b(x) = \frac{\log_c(x)}{\log_c(b)} </math>
