To compare the two logarithmic expressions \( \frac{\log 200}{\log 8} \) and \( \frac{\ln 200}{\ln 8} \), we can use the change of base formula for logarithms.

The change of base formula states that for any positive numbers \( a, b \), and base \( c \), the following holds:

\[
\log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a}
\]

Let’s express both logarithms using a common base, say natural logarithm (ln):

1. We have:
\[
\log 200 = \frac{\ln 200}{\ln 10}
\]
\[
\log 8 = \frac{\ln 8}{\ln 10}
\]

Therefore:
\[
\frac{\log 200}{\log 8} = \frac{\frac{\ln 200}{\ln 10}}{\frac{\ln 8}{\ln 10}} = \frac{\ln 200}{\ln 8}
\]

2. So we notice that:
\[
\frac{\log 200}{\log 8} = \frac{\ln 200}{\ln 8}
\]

Thus, we can conclude:
\[
\frac{\log 200}{\log 8} = \frac{\ln 200}{\ln 8}
\]

**Final answer**: \( = \)
