$\log_{5} (\frac{5 p}{6 k})$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log_{5} (\frac{5 p}{6 k})$ as $\log_{5} (5 p) - \log_{5} (6 k)$ .

$\log_{5} (5 p) - \log_{5} (6 k)$

Step 2

Rewrite $\log_{5} (5 p)$ as $\log_{5} (5) + \log_{5} (p)$ .

$\log_{5} (5) + \log_{5} (p) - \log_{5} (6 k)$

Step 3

Logarithm base $5$ of $5$ is $1$ .

$1 + \log_{5} (p) - \log_{5} (6 k)$

Step 4

Rewrite $\log_{5} (6 k)$ as $\log_{5} (6) + \log_{5} (k)$ .

$1 + \log_{5} (p) - (\log_{5} (6) + \log_{5} (k))$

Step 5.1.1

Rewrite $\log_{5} (6)$ as $\log_{5} (2 (3))$ .

$1 + \log_{5} (p) - (\log_{5} (2 (3)) + \log_{5} (k))$

Step 5.1.2

Rewrite $\log_{5} (2 (3))$ as $\log_{5} (2) + \log_{5} (3)$ .

$1 + \log_{5} (p) - (\log_{5} (2) + \log_{5} (3) + \log_{5} (k))$

Step 5.2

Apply the distributive property.

$1 + \log_{5} (p) - \log_{5} (2) - \log_{5} (3) - \log_{5} (k)$
