Q
What do you need to know for logarithmic scales?
A
nearly base 10 (logv10)
used for representing huge ranges of data
1-10-100-1000-10000
if you see logv10 on a graph axis, it represents a huge range in a scale

Q
How do you find out the real number?
A
real number = 10^x
the bigger the ‘x’ the greater the actual number will be
10^6 = 1000000 = log10 (1,000,000) = 6
