$\log_{p} (78)$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log_{p} (78)$ as $\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3 \cdot 13)$ .

$\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3 \cdot 13)$

Step 2

Rewrite $\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3 \cdot 13)$ as $\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3) + \log_{p} (13)$ .

$\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3) + \log_{p} (13)$

Step 3

Rewrite $\log_{p} (2 \cdot 3)$ as $\log_{p} (2) + \log_{p} (3)$ .

$\log_{p} (2) + \log_{p} (3) + \log_{p} (13)$
