What is a Log Base 2
A Log Base 2 or Logarithm with Base 2 is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a 2 number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number.
For example, 23 = 8. Therefore, 3 is the logarithm of 8 to base 2, or 3 = log2 8.
Log base 2 is also called the binary logarithm and stands for lb.
The logarithm can be a fractional number!
For example, log2 3 is approximately 1.58496, which lies between 1 and 2, just as 3 lies between 21 = 2 and 22 = 4.
Representation of a Log Base 2 function:
log2b = x, then 2x = b
