You need the change of base formula:
log base b of m is ln m / ln b
So- to find log base 2 of 8, simply find ln8/ln2
(from Wikipedia - the proof also follows if you want to go look it up)
While there are several useful identities, the most important for calculator use lets one find logarithms with bases other than those built into the calculator (usually loge and log10). To find a logarithm with base b, using any other base k:
