That's the easier part of your question:
when there's no base specified in the log notation, it means we're using the default base 10 (which most basic scientific calculators can resolve). You can rewrite Log 1.333 = 0.1248 as 10 raised to the power 0.1248 = 1.333
Try it on your windows calculator in scientific mode, input 1.333 and then press the log button.
And by:
1.333 = (1+I)n
log 1.3333 = 4 log (1+I)
I'm guessing by (1+I)n you meant (1+I) raised to power 4 and that there was some sort of typo or an intermediate step is missing that got us from n to 4.
