Identify the given logarithm: \( \log_2 3789 \).
Recall the change of base formula: \( \log_b a = \frac{\log_c a}{\log_c b} \), where \( c \) is a new base, often chosen as 10 or \( e \) (natural log).
Apply the change of base formula using the natural logarithm (\( \ln \)): \( \log_2 3789 = \frac{\ln 3789}{\ln 2} \).
Use a calculator to find \( \ln 3789 \) and \( \ln 2 \).
Divide the result of \( \ln 3789 \) by \( \ln 2 \) to evaluate \( \log_2 3789 \).
