Natural Logarithms are not that hard to understand. They can be interpreted as merely logarithms with the base of e. Read my article to join the separate puzzle pieces of e and logarithms together.

If you do not already know how to use bases of logarithms, check out my other article, Logarithm Bases. If you do not know what logarithms are, then check out another article, Understanding Logarithms. Natural logarithms are just like regular logarithms and it is quite simple. The only difference if that they use the base of e instead of the base of 10. If you do not know about e, check out another other article, What "e" Really is. e is an irrational number just like π and never ends in a rational value that we can express as a ratio or fraction. It is just digits that we can never predict and keeps going on forever, without repeating. Since e is irrational, natural logarithms can almost never be interpreted as whole numbers. The only natural logarithms that are whole numbers are e and 1. Since a natural logarithm just means what power e would have to be raised to to equal x, e¹=e so ln (the symbol for natural logarithm) e would be 1. Another thing to keep in mind is that anything to the zero power is 1, even irrational numbers, so ln 1 would be 0.
