Identify the given logarithm: \( \log_{8} 41 \).
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).
Choose the natural logarithm (base \( e \)) for the calculation. Rewrite the expression using the change of base formula: \( \log_{8} 41 = \frac{\ln 41}{\ln 8} \).
Use a calculator to find the natural logarithms: \( \ln 41 \) and \( \ln 8 \).
Divide the result of \( \ln 41 \) by \( \ln 8 \) to evaluate \( \log_{8} 41 \).
