Try using Change Of Base formula.

-
Your textbook should show the Change of Base formula, and should show the derivation of it in logical algebraic steps. Student should study the needed textbook section before the teacher presents the lesson on the section. This makes the lecture lesson more understandable. Do not wait for teacher to show what is in the lesson. Study it before that!
