In the continuous compounding equation e is the natural log to the base 10?

A "natural logarithm" is a logarithm to the base e, notto the base 10. Base 10 is sometimes called "common logarithm". The number e is approximately 2.71828.


What is the notation for a logarithm with base 10?

The logarithm of a number with base=B is written as [ logB(N) ].If the base is 10, it's called the "common logarithm" of N and the base isn't written. [ log(N) ].If the base is 'e', it's called the "natural logarithm" of N, and written [ ln(N) ].


Is ln equal to log?

Most people do not mean the same thing when they write "ln" and "log". Both refer to a logarithm, but the base for "ln" is the number e (a special number roughly equal to 2.1781) while the base for "log" is 10, unless otherwise specified. "ln" is called the natural logarithm and "log" is called the common logarithm when it refers to the base 10 logarithm.A quick example of how they are different:log 10,000 = 4ln 10,000 = 9.21The reason for this is that the logarithm is the inverse of (that is, it undoes) exponentiation. The first example asks "what power do I have to raise 10 to in order to get 10,000?" The exponentiation related to the first example is 104 = 10,000. The second example asks "what power do I have to raise e to in order to get 10,000?" The exponentiation related to it is e9.21 = 10,000.


Compare and Contrast Greatest common factor and Least common multiple?

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.


What is the hcf of 8?

You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
