+log%283%2C%2827%29%29+=+x+



This is the same as asking 'for what value of x is 3%5Ex+ = 27?'   



+3%5E0+=+1+

+3%5E1+=+3+

+3%5E2+=+9+

+3%5E3+=+27+  <<<<  +highlight%28+x+=+3+%29+

log(3)27=x
==============
The "hard way:"
x = log(27)/log(3)
x = 3
==================
Works for all cases, not necessary for integers.
eg,
log(3)32.5 = x
x = log(32.5)/log(3) = ~ 3.16876
