Is that supposed to be

@Brielshield You understand that the button you press is determined by the term you are wanting to input?

Okay, if you have log functions, you can take the log of (70/33), divide by 5, and take the antilog.
If you have a y^x key (or similar), you divide 70/33, then use the y^x key and put (1/5) as the exponent

Yeah, it's a bit frustrating to try to help people use their calculator - you never know what kind of calculator they have, and what buttons it has, etc. if you're ever stuck without a calculator, there's a nice one on the web at http://web2.0calc.com/
