The logarithm of a positive real number x with respect to base b, a positive real number not equal to 1, is the exponent by which b must be raised so as to yield x. In other words, the logarithm of x to base b is the solution y to the equation, by = x.
Some important formulae, also called logarithmic identities are mentioned in the table given below:
