Use awk to log transform

Hello. I'm trying to use the awk command to convert certains fields to lgo base 2, not base 10.

I'm trying command lines like:

awk '$2 $5 $7 {print log(2)($2), log(2)($5), $7) filein.txt > fileout.txt

this seems to work

If I use:
awk '{print log($2)/log(2)}'

this prints the value in log base 2. Had to look up some log transformations.
