The change of base formula allows you to write a logarithm in terms of logarithms with another base. It follows this pattern,


log_(a)x = ( log_(b)x )/(log_(b)a )

where a≠1 and b≠1

Assigning the base to be 7,


log_(3)73 = ( log_(7)73 )/(log_(7)3 )=3.9


I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
