Problem with fairly basic recursive method

[TFLeGacY]

The point of my code is to find the answer of logbn. I am stuck on the part where a is incremented. I'm not exactly sure where to increment it because every value input will return 1. Any advice? Thanks!
So here is my code.


/**
* Calculates base-b log of n recursively
* @param b the base of the logarithm to be found
* @param n the value whose logarithm is being found
* @return base b log of n
* Pre-Condition: n must be integer multiple of b
* @since Lesson 6-4
* @version 12-6-11
* @author TFLeGacY
*/
public int log(int b, int n)
{ int a = 0;
if(n / b == 1)
return 1;
else
{ log(b, n = n / b);
a++;
}
return a;
}
