Solve LogX=6

My book says the answer is 1,000,000 but I am under the assumption that the answer should be e^6 which, according to my calculator, equals 403.428. Please find time to help me.

It depends upon which log you use.

If you use common logs, which use the abbreviation 'log' and you use the log key on your calculator, you will get 10^6 = 1,000,000.

If you use natural logs, which use the abbreviation 'ln' and you use the ln key on your calculator, you will get e^6 = 403.42...
