\frac{1}{8}\times 64=2^{n}
Calculate 2 to the power of -3 and get \frac{1}{8}.
8=2^{n}
Multiply \frac{1}{8} and 64 to get 8.
2^{n}=8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\log(2^{n})=\log(8)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
n\log(2)=\log(8)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
n=\frac{\log(8)}{\log(2)}
Divide both sides by \log(2).
n=\log_{2}\left(8\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
