In the calculator on this site you can also specify the base as a second argument to the log function.  For example, enter log(49,7) to get:

$${{log}}_{{\mathtt{7}}}{\left({\mathtt{49}}\right)} = {\mathtt{2}}$$

You can use the change of base rule to calculate this....example........

log6 19   =  log 19 / log 6

In general

loga b =   log b / log a
