The logs can be combined where adding becomes multiplication and subtraction division:
¾[ln(x3yz⅔/(5w5)]=ln(x9/4y¾√z/(5¾w15/4).
3ln(w)+2ln(w)=5ln(w)=ln(w)+ln(w)+ln(w)+ln(w)+ln(w)=ln(w×w×w×w×w)=ln(w5), for example. This is how a multiple of a log is interpreted: the multiple is converted to an exponent, which can be any value, including a fraction. Note also that z½ is the same as √z; 5¾ is the same as 4√53 or 4√125.
