Evaluate ln(e)

Evaluate logarithms — log, ln, and any base — step by step.

Expression
Answer
1

To evaluate ln(e), find the exponent you must raise e (Euler's number, ≈ 2.71828) to in order to get e.

Step 1 — Recall the definition

The natural logarithm ln(x) is the logarithm with base e:

ln(e) = n means en = e

Step 2 — Apply the identity property

The natural logarithm of e is 1 by definition:

e1 = e

Therefore ln(e) = 1.

ln(e) = 1
