According to the rule
When the content of the log is a multiplication expression, we can split it into an addition expression – logs will have the same base.
The first log will be with the first term in the multiplication and the second log will be with the second term in the multiplication.
A multiplication exercise can be converted to an addition exercise and an addition exercise to a multiplication exercise with one log according to the rule as long as the base is the same.
\( \log_49\times\log_{13}7= \)
In order to solve perform the multiplication of logarithms, you need to know the following rule:
When there is multiplication inside the log, we can split the log into an addition problem with the same base where one log will have the content of one of the factors and the second log will have the content of the second factor.
You can convert the multiplication problem to an addition problem and an addition problem to a multiplication problem with one log according to the rule as long as the base is the same.
Let's look at an example:
We have an expression with a logarithm containing a multiplication operation. If we were to multiply what's inside of the parentheses, we would obtain something like this:
Of course, thanks to the rule, we can solve this exercise in a much easier and faster way.
We just need to split the exercise into an addition exercise with identical bases - in this exercise the base is .
It should look like this:
Now we can solve the exercise with greater ease!
Reminder -
The definition of a logarithm is:
Where:
is the base of the logarithm
is what appears inside the logarithm. It can also appear in parentheses.
is the exponent to which we raise the base of the logarithm to obtain the number inside the logarithm.
And so we ask ourselves - to what power do we need to raise to in order to obtain ? The answer is .
And to what power do we need to raise to in order to obtain ? The answer is .
We obtained the following:
Let's solve another exercise!

Let's proceed to another exercise!
\(log_62+log_618=\
Pay attention! At first glance, this exercise appears to be an addition of logarithms with the same base... however! We are using the rule we learned about multiplying logarithms!
Solution Method:
Let's first try to solve the exercise without the rule -
If we think about which power we need to raise to in order to obtain ... we encounter a problem. This is not an intuitive solution
The again encounter the same problem for
Which power do we need to raise to in order to obtain ? Also a good question..
Therefore, we use the rule that states we can multiply the log contents with the same base. As seen below:
How wonderful! We now understand that in order to reach we need to raise to the power of !
Therefore the solution is . This is the final answer.
What did we learn? The multiplication rule we learned follows the commutative property.
It works on both sides - you can convert a multiplication expression into an addition expression, and an addition expression can be converted into a single log with multiplied content.
However - only if the base is identical.
Note - If there is multiplication of logarithms with different bases, you can try to convert the log base according to the rules you learned.
\( \log_mn\times\log_zr= \)
\( \log_54\times\log_23= \)
\( \log_37\times\log_79= \)
