log6 base 50
= ln6/ln50
= about 0.45801353
= about .458
log50 base 6 = ln50/ln6 = 1/.458 = 2.183
logs base b = lns/lnb = logs/logb = log s to any base a/log b to any base a

Problem
Given the logarithm log6(50), use the change-of-base formula to calculate its approximate value to three decimal places.
Step 1
Recall that the change-of-base formula for logarithms is:
logb(a) = (logx(a)) / (logx(b))
In this case, we will use x = 10 because most scientific calculators only support base-10 and natural (base-e) logarithms. However, this means that x = e will also work here.
Step 2
Apply the formula using the logarithm given in the problem:
log6(50) = log10(50) / log10(6) or ln(50) / ln(6)
Step 3
Plug in the results obtained from step 2 into a calculator:
TI-84 Plus: 2.183341611...
Desmos: 2.183341610...
Solution
log6(50) ≈ 2.183.

To calculate log6(50)\log_6(50) using the change of base formula, we can use the following formula:
logb(a)=logc(a)logc(b)\log_b(a) = \frac{\log_c(a)}{\log_c(b)}Where:
We can write:
We need to calculate the natural logarithms of 50 and 6:
Now, divide the two results to get log6(50)\log_6(50):
Thus, log6(50)≈2.18\log_6(50) \approx 2.18 (rounded to the thousandths place).
