Learn how to solve expanding logarithms problems step by step online. Expand the logarithmic expression log5(12). Decompose 12 in it's prime factors. Use the product rule for logarithms: \log_b\left(MN\right)=\log_b\left(M\right)+\log_b\left(N\right), where M=2^{2} and N=3. Using the power rule of logarithms: \log_a(x^n)=n\cdot\log_a(x).

Final Answer

$2\log_{5}\left(2\right)+\log_{5}\left(3\right)$
