I made a mistake on the last question, sorry.
Anyway, any help on this question is greatly appreciated.

In base 8, instead of 1s, 10s, 100s, etc positions, you have 1s, 8s, 64s, etc.
765 in base 10.
1 = 8^0
8 = 8^1
64 = 8^2
512 = 8^3
765/512 = 1 (and change)
765 - 512 = 253
253/64 = 3 (and change)
253 - 192 = 61
61/8 = 7 (and change)
61 - 56 = 5
5/1 = 5
So 765(base10) = 1375(base8).
Hope that helps.

To determine the log base 8, just divide the
Log10(765) by Log10(8)
