What is the difference between a common and natural logarithm and how do I change from one to the other? For example how would I write log5 91 in terms of common logarithms?
**
The base of a common logarithm=10
The base of a natural logarithm=e=2.7183...
.
To convert to a different base, take the log of the number with the new base divided by the log of the old base, based on the new base. For example:
log5(9)=log10(9)/log10(5)=log(9)/log(5)
