Answer 5

log base ten asks what power 10 must be raised to in order to get a number. Log(10) of 10, for example, is one. One simple way to do logs in base ten is to count the place of the highest-place digit. The log base 10 will always be between that number of places and one more, depending on the number itself: 525 has a higher log than 216, but both are between two and three.
