The equation you're referring to is:

\[
\ln(10) = \frac{1}{\log_e}
\]

This is incorrect because the natural logarithm, denoted as \(\ln(x)\), refers to the logarithm with base \(e\) (Euler's number, approximately 2.718). Here's how the terms relate:

- \(\ln(10)\) is the natural logarithm of 10, which evaluates to approximately 2.3026.
- \(\log_e(x)\) refers to the logarithm of \(x\) with base \(e\), which is the same as \(\ln(x)\).

Thus, the right-hand side \(\frac{1}{\log_e}\) doesn't make sense as written because \(\log_e\) is an operation, not a number.

If you're trying to express the relationship between natural and base-10 logarithms, here's a correct version:

\[
\ln(10) = \frac{1}{\log_{10}(e)}
\]

Where \(\log_{10}(e)\) is the logarithm of \(e\) with base 10, approximately equal to 0.4343. This would make:

\[
\ln(10) = \frac{1}{0.4343} \approx 2.3026
\]
