Computing logarithms to an arbitrary base

To compute the logarithm of a value, 'x', to an arbitrary base, 'y', do the following:

logy(x) = log(x) / log(y)

The type of logarithm used to compute the values on the right (base-10 or natural) doesn't matter, so long as the same base is used in both calculations
