It has been suggested that this article be merged with Logarithm. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2006.

In mathematics, the base-b cologarithm of a number, sometimes shortened to colog, is the base-b logarithm of the multiplicative inverse of the number. This means that

${\displaystyle \operatorname {colog} _{b}\ x=\log _{b}\left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)=-\log _{b}x=\log _{1/b}x.\,}$
