    go to natural logs

    log {base 5} 8 = 3 ln2 / ln 5 , log {base 2} √10 = ln 10 / 2 ln 2 ,

    log {base 25} 10 = ln 10 / 2 ln 5

    { 3 ln2 ln10 / [ln5 (2ln2) ] } / [ln 10 / 2 ln5] =

    { 3 ln 2 (ln 10 )[2 ln 5] } / { ln 5 ( 2 ln 2)[ln 10] }

    = 3

    [log5(8)*log2{sqrt(10)}] / log25{10}

    = [ log 8 / log 5 * log 10^1/2 / log 2 ] / (log 10 / log 25) ///// all to base 10

    = [ log 8 / log 5 * log 10^1/2 / log 2 ] * log 25 /log10

    = ( log 8 * log 10^1/2 * log 25) / ( log 5 * log 2 * log 10)

    = log ( 8 *10^1/2*25) / log (5*2*10)

    = log ( 200 *10^1/2) / log ( 100)

    = = log ( 2 * 10^2 * 10^1/2 ) / log 10^2

    = log ( 2 * 10 ^5/2) / log 10^2

    = [ log 2 + log 10^5/2] / 2log 10

    = log 2 / 2 + (5/2 ) / 2

    = 1/2 log 2 + 5/4

    )
