Answer:
= log(3888/343)
= log(3888) -log(343)
= 4·log(2) +5·log(3) -3·log(7)
≈ 1.054432
Explanation:
Perhaps you want to simplify and evaluate the logarithm.
The applicable rules are ...
log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)
n·log(a) = log(a^n)
__
We will use "log" for "log10". So, your logarithm can be written as ...
log(30/10) -2·log(5/9) +log(400/343)
= log(3) +log(81/25) +log(400/343)
= log(3·81·400/(25·343)) = log(3888/343)
= log(3888) -log(343)
= log(2^4·3^5) -log(7^3) = 4·log(2) +5·log(3) -3·log(7) ≈ 1.054432

Additional comment
My personal favorite form is the log of a fraction, as it requires the fewest calculator keystrokes. Perhaps the "simplest" is the weighted sum of the logs of primes.
