- How can we find the first $10$ digits of $\dfrac{\log 5}{\log 13}$ in the $2$-adic numbers?
I mean how can we write down $\{ a_i\}_{i=0}^{10}$'s explicitly,
in $\dfrac{\log 5}{\log 13}=:\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} a_i 2^i$.
Motivation for asking this question:
Let's consider the set of prime numbers that are congruent to $5$ modulo $8$:
$$\{5, 13; 29, 37; 53, 61; 101, 109; 149, 157; 173, 181; 197, \cdots\}.$$
For any prime $p$ in this set we have $v_2(p-1)=2$.
From now on we assume that $2 \leq n$.
With a little work,
we can show that $\displaystyle{{\rm order}_{2^n}p = 2^{n-2}}$.
This implies that $p$ is a generator for the index $2$ subgroup
$$H:=\{a\in \dfrac{\mathbb{Z}}{2^n\mathbb{Z}} \mid a \stackrel{4}{\equiv} 1\},$$
of $\dfrac{\mathbb{Z}}{2^n\mathbb{Z}}$.
Considering these facts,
we can find that $\overline{\langle p\rangle}=1+4\mathbb{Z}_2$,
in the $2$-adic topology.
Now let $p_1=5$ and $p_2=13$. I am not sure, but I think we can conclude that $5=13^z$, for some $z \in \mathbb{Z}_2$.
- I can not see why should we have $\dfrac{\log p}{\log q} \in \mathbb{Z}_2$,
for arbitrary prime numbers $p,q \stackrel{8}{\equiv} 5$.
