I woul change base of the logarithm using the property:
log b x = log a x log a ( b )
in your case:
log 5 ( 2 ) = log 2 log ( 5 ) = 0.03 0.7 = 3 100 10 7 = 3 70 = 0.043
Although I am not completely sure about your estimates (in particular 0.03)....the result should give you 0.43 so that 5 0.43 = 2 !
