Question

How do I find the common logarithm of 589,000?

Answer 1

Most scientific calculators can do this for you, but first:
Remember that the answer to a logarithm is the power of your base.
For common logs, the base is 10.
`10^5=100000` and `10^6 = 1000000`.
Your answer should be between 5 and 6.

I hope that helped!
