Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.584962500721156}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The change of base formula is given by \(\log_b a = \frac{\log_c a}{\log_c b}\) for any positive base \(c\) different from 1. In this case, we want to express \(\log_2 6\) using \(\ln\), so we can take \(c = e\). Therefore, we have \(\log_2 6 = \frac{\ln 6}{\ln 2}\).

Step 2 :After calculating, we get the result as 2.584962500721156.

Step 3 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.584962500721156}\)
