How do I find #log 10#?

That depends on what log 10 means. Do you want to find the log10 of 10, or do you want to find the log10 of another number?
To find the log "x" of a number, you're basically saying "What number will I have to raise "x" to the power of in order to get my number? Let's say you're finding the log10 of 100,000. You're asking "What will I have to put above that 10 to make it 100,000? The answer is 5, since 10^5 =100,000.
However, if you just need to find the log of 10, then log refers to log10 (just as a radical with no subscript before it indicates it is a square root). log10 of 10 is just 1.
I assume that you are using
The general property of logarithms is that
This is because the log base
So
If you meant to find the natural log of 10 (
