Integral in cylindrical coordinates

[zezima1]

I recently did an integral of the form:

∫∫1/ρ dρρdθ

the extra ρ between dρ and dθ is the cost of switching to cylindrical coordinates. Now I want to know, do you carry out the integration in ρ, keeping the ρ outside the integration (since it's technically a scaling factor that belongs to the integral in θ) or should I let it go under the integral to cancel out the ρ in the denominator?
Obviously two different results are achieved, and I want to know which one you must do and why...

You have to include it in the first integration, since the first integration is with respect to ρ. It cannot be treated as a constant in the first integration.
