    When larger number with larger exponentials are involved it is more appropriate to represent them in the log scale.

    It just means logarithm of the M.

    Simply M would be the right answer, but it wud be huge...

    puttin it in log gives a decent figure

    when you write log M it is logarithm base 10 of number M but this number is only a number
