Where 
is the future value, 
is the present value, i.e. the starting principal, 
is the interest rate as a decimal (the percentage divided by 100), 
is the number of compounding periods per year, and

and the formula reduces to:
^t)
Since you want the principal to quadruple, 
must be true, hence solve:
^t\ =\ 4)
