you need a calculator to do this, but calculators usually only have base 10 and base e log functions, so we need to convert to one of these bases like base 10
log base3 of 21
convert to base 10
log base 10 of 21/log base 10 of 3
you can now do it on the calculator with the log key

In other words, 3^2.7712..=21
