### Logarithmic Calculation Exercise

**Problem Statement:**

Given the following logarithmic values:
- \(\log_n 2 \approx 0.571\)
- \(\log_n 4 \approx 1.141\)
- \(\log_n 6 \approx 1.476\)

Find \(\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right)\).

**Answer:**

\(\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right) \approx\) [Type an integer or a decimal.]

**Explanation:**

To find the value of \(\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right)\), we can use the properties of logarithms, particularly the quotient rule, which states:
\[
\log_b \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = \log_b x - \log_b y
\]

Applying this rule, we get:
\[
\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right) = \log_n 4 - \log_n n
\]

Since \(\log_n n = 1\) for any base \( n \):
\[
\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right) = \log_n 4 - 1
\]

Next, substitute the given value of \(\log_n 4\):
\[
\log_n 4 \approx 1.141
\]

Therefore:
\[
\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right) \approx 1.141 - 1 = 0.141
\]

So, the value is:
\[
\log_n \left(\frac{4}{n}\right) \approx 0.141
\]
