<s>[INST] logarithm problem - four tuple How many distinct four tuple (a,b,c,d) of rational numbers are there with $a\log_{10}2+b\log_{10}3+c\log_{10}5+d\log_{10}7=2005$
Can we proceed like this : 
Using $\log a +\log b = \log(ab)$ and $m\log a = \log a^m$
$\Rightarrow \log_{10}2^a \cdot 3^b \cdot 5^c \cdot 7^d = 2005$
Please guide how to proceed further..
 [/INST] You have
$$
2^a\cdot 3^b\cdot 5^c\cdot 7^d = 10^{2005} = 2^{2005}\cdot 5^{2005}.
$$
So this works if $a=c=2005$ and $b=d=0$.
To see if other solutions exist, observe that you'd get
$$
2^{a-2005}\cdot 5^{c-2005} = 3^{-b}\cdot 7^{-d}.
$$
All the exponents are rational, so we have
$$
2^{n_1/n_2}\cdot 5^{n_3/n_4} = 3^{n_5/n_6}\cdot 7^{n_7/n_8}.
$$
Raising both sides to the power $n_2 n_4 n_6 n_8$, we get all integer exponents.  By uniqueness of prime factorizations, that can happen only if all of the integer exponenents are $0$.  Therefore there can be no other solutions.
