The logarithm of a number depends on the base you are using. By default, logarithms are often calculated in base 10 (common logarithm, denoted as $\log_{10}$) or base $e$ (natural logarithm, denoted as $\ln$).

1. Common Logarithm ($\log_{10}(48)$): $\log_{10}(48) \approx 1.68124$

2. Natural Logarithm ($\ln(48)$): $\ln(48) \approx 3.8712$

If you need the logarithm in a different base, the formula is: $\log_b(x) = \frac{\log_{10}(x)}{\log_{10}(b)}$
