Yes, you are doing it correctly.

$\begin{array}{rcll}\log(0.00786391)&= & m \times\log(0.0063)&\\\\m & = & \dfrac{\log(0.00786391)}{ \log(0.0063)} & \text{Divided each side by log(0.0063)}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-2.104361}{-2.20} & \text{Took the logarithms}\\\\& = & \mathbf{0.956} &\text{Did the division}\\\end{array}$
