Can you tell me how to find log 10000 where log means log to the base of 10 with the answer?

Also, most calculators have 2 different logs on them: log, which is based 10, and ln, which is based e. In computer science, digital computers are based on the binary numbering system where there are only 2 numbers available to the computer, 0 and 1. When a computer scientist needs a logarithm, he/she needs a log to base 2 which is not on any calculator. To find the log of a number to any base, I can use a conversion formula as shown here:

Using this formula, log,a=log a/log b 'find log- 2, 1000.? How did you do it?
