When a computer scientist needs a logarithm, he/she needs a log to base 2 which is not on any calculator. To find the log of a number to any base, we can use a conversion formula as shown here: logba = log a / log b
 
Using this formula, find log2 10000 .

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
