The answer to these exponent questions is called has a special name called a logarithm

The small number after log is called the “base”. This is what number you are raising to a power.

Note that powers and logarithms are inverse operations

How many times do I need to multiply 1 by 2 to get 8 x 8? You could do this two ways. First, multiplying by 2 three times is the same as multiplying 8. So you can multiply by 2 three times, then multiply by 2 three more times. This means it takes 3+3 times. Or, you could simply compute 8x8=64, and then find it takes 6 times to get 64.

This method holds true in general. We can use the power rules we already know and the fact that powers and logarithms are inverse operations in order to prove this.
