Financial Math Help? (Determine compound period)?

Future value of a $200 deposit in an account that earns 6.25% annual interest is $272.71 after 5 years. Determine the compounding period for this investment.

My work:

PV=FV(1+I/n)^ (-n)

200=272.71(1+0.0625/n)^-5n

log0.73=log(1+0.0625/n)-5n

This is where I got stuck. No idea how to continue

The answer is that it is compounded quarterly.
