I'm sorry, I misread HallsofIvy's post. I think I understand now.

How can x = the log of x? If we do 2^3 = 8 for example then log to the base 2 of 8 = 3, yes? I am still quite confused. I don't know why I can't understand this.

I'm reading a book and there is a section about rules to do with logarithms but one of them I don't understand, it is very wordy and I just can't get what it means. It says "The logarithm of the power of a number is that power multiplied by the logarithm." I really don't understand what that...

Thank-you, that is very helpful.

I am going to assume everyone was taught the method where if you want to divide to fractions then you simply flip the second and then multiply them. I've been trying to see if I could find a reason as to why it works but I can't seem to. Does anyone know why or want to give me some hints...
