Can someone explain why log(500) = 3 – log(2)?

Could someone explain why log(500) equals 3 – log(2) when using base 10? I’m curious if there is a specific property or rule in logarithms that justifies this equation. Thank you!

log(500)

=log(1000/2) replace 500 with 1000/2

=log1000-log2 use the log property to change the fraction to a difference

=3-log2 replace log1000 with 3

The answer is already been posted.

It is because log(1000/2) is the same as log(1000)-log(2) [if you remember your properties)

Then log(1000) is 3

so it ends up

3 – log (2)

3- log2 = 3*log10 – log2

= log10^3-log2

= log1000-log2

=log1000/2

=log500

because logm -logn= logm/n dats a basic rule

There’s no property to explain this. Probably just a coincedence.
