What is log 3?

Answer

log 3 ≈
0.4771

log here is the common log, base 10.

≈ — the logarithm is irrational; the value is rounded to 4 decimal places.

log 3 is the power you raise 10 to, to get 3: 10y = 3.

10⁰ = 1 < 3 < 10 = 10¹, so 0 < log 3 < 1

log 3 = ln 3 / ln 10 ≈ 1.098612 / 2.302585 ≈ 0.4771

Answer point ≈ (3, 0.4771).

The curve y = log x passes through (1, 0) and (10, 1) and rises: for x > 1 the log is positive, for 0 < x < 1 negative.
