How do you evaluate ${{\log }_{343}}49$?

Hint: We will solve the question by using the definition of logarithm in exponential form. We will use the property ${{\log }_{a}}x=b$ which is equal to ${{a}^{b}}=x$. So we will write the given expression in this form and simplify further to get the desired answer.

Complete step-by-step solution:
We know that the logarithm is the inverse function to the exponentiation. A logarithm is the power to which a number must be raised in order to get some other number.
We have been given that ${{\log }_{343}}49$.
We have to find the value of the given expression.
Now, we know that by definition of logarithm ${{\log }_{a}}x=b$ is equivalent to the ${{a}^{b}}=x$.
Now, let us assume that ${{\log }_{343}}49=b$.
So by using the above property we can write the expression as
\[\Rightarrow {{\left( 343 \right)}^{b}}=49\]
Now, we know that $49={{7}^{2}}$ and $343={{7}^{3}}$
Now, substituting the values in the above obtained equation we will get
\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{7}^{3}} \right)}^{b}}={{7}^{2}}\]
Now, we know that \[{{\left( {{a}^{x}} \right)}^{b}}={{a}^{xb}}\]
So we will get
\[\Rightarrow \left( {{7}^{3b}} \right)={{7}^{2}}\]
Now, as bases are same so when we compare the power we will get
$\Rightarrow 3b=2$
Simplifying the above equation we will get
$\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2}{3}$
So on solving the given expression we get the value ${{\log }_{343}}49=\dfrac{2}{3}$.
