See: Logarithm rules Logarithm product rule. The logarithm of the multiplication of x and y is the sum of logarithm of x and logarithm of y. Log b (x ∙ y) = log b (x) + log b (y). For example: log 10 (3 ∙ 7) = log 10 (3) + log 10 (7). Logarithm quotient rule.

The common logarithm of x is the power to which the number 10 must be raised to obtain the value x.
