…
Using 'log' to denote log base 10 (i.e. the traditional log function):
= … *
Notice how log(3) cancels with log(3) of the 2nd factor, and then log(4) cancels, etc. leaving us with
=

.
   = 


         Use the base change formula   =  to get


=  = (cancel all appropriate factors) = 

=  = (use the base change formula again to get) =  = 10.
