It helps you find the exponent to which the base must be raised to get the given number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LOG(number, [base])<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>number<\/strong><\/td><td>The positive number for which you want to calculate the logarithm.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>[base]<\/strong><\/td><td>(Optional) The base for the logarithm.

You provide a number and, optionally, the base for the logarithm. Here are some examples to illustrate its usage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=LOG(100)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula calculates the logarithm of 100 with the default base of 10, which is 2 (because 10^2 = 100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=LOG(8, 2)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula finds the logarithm of 8 with a base of 2, which is 3 (because 2^3 = 8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=LOG(1000, 10)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we calculate the logarithm of 1000 with a base of 10, which is 3 (because 10^3 = 1000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LOG function is useful for various applications, such as scientific calculations and financial modeling. It helps you solve problems where exponential growth or decay is involved, like compound interest or population growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Excel LOG function is used to calculate the logarithm of a number to a specified base.
