${log}_{6} 6 = 1$ $log_6 6 = 1$

A log written in this form is asking the question..

"What index/power of 6 will make 6?"
OR

"To what power must I raise 6 to get 6?"

$6^{?} = 6$ $6^? = 6$

The answer is clearly 1!

${log}_{6} 6 = 1$ $log_6 6 = 1$

This is one of the laws of logs... ${log}_{x} x = 1$ $log_x x = 1$
