A common logarithm means that the logarithm is of base 10.

To get the logarithm of a number $n$ , find the number $x$ that when the base is raised to that power, the resulting value is $n$

For this problem, we have

$log_10 10 = x$

$=> 10^x = 10$

$=> 10^x = 10^1$

$=> x = 1$

Therefore, the common logarithm of 10 is 1.
