How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Formula and method

e⁰ = 1. e¹ is approximately 2.718281828459045, and its five-decimal display is 2.71828.

Result = eˣ; exponent = ln(result)

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • The exponent may be negative, zero or positive, with the retained upper bound of 600. Results must be positive for reverse logarithms.
  • The result sentence gives a five-decimal display of the same underlying value. A rounded display of zero does not make the mathematical exponential zero.
  • Values use 64 significant digits internally; extremely small or large magnitudes can exceed practical numeric limits.

Common questions

Can e to a real power be zero?

No. It is positive, though an extremely small value can round to zero in a short decimal display.

Can I find the exponent from a positive result?

Yes. Enter the result and the calculator uses its natural logarithm.

References

The real exponential and its alternate rounded-display field must be positive when used as reverse inputs.
