it's like 25 at the base 1/log 25

U-God
so like: $\frac{1}{Log_{25} 25}$ ?

Well what do you know about $Log_x x = y$
It's the same as: $x^y = x$ which implies x = 1.

Does it look like this

$\frac{1}{\log{25}}$

it's like 25 with exponent 1/log 25

but the base is not 25 ...there's nothing so i guess the base should be 10

In my country if there's no base, the base is taken to be e. But I'm aware that in other countries it's taken to be 10.

If it was 10 the answer would be $\frac{1}{1.398}$

However if it was e, the answer would be $\frac{1}{3.219}$

to 3 decimal places.

so it is

$\frac{1}{\log{25^{25}}}$

Do you mean:

$25^{1/\log(25)}$

If so, let the base be $b$ then:

$25^{1/\log(25)}=(b^{\log(25)})^{1/\log(25)}=b$
