Hello,
I can't figure out how to use the log function on my calculator. How can I properly configure my calculator?

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 42.0

'lut, no matter the calculator, there's nothing to configure.
2 cases:
- either "log" means "base 10 logarithm"
- or "log" is the base e logarithm, also called natural logarithm (abbreviated as "ln" on most calculators)
In both cases, to get the logarithm base B of the number X, the mathematical formula 
 log(X)
--------
 log(B)
applies all the time.
