A common logarithm means that the logarithm is of base 10.

To get the logarithm of a number #n#, find the number #x# that when the base is raised to that power, the resulting value is #n#

For this problem, we have

#log_10 10 = x#

#=> 10^x = 10#

#=> 10^x = 10^1#

#=> x = 1#

Therefore, the common logarithm of 10 is 1.
