Finding the cube root of a number is part of algebra 1 (second math course) syllabus which includes estimating cube roots. To find the cube of a number, multiply the number by itself three times. 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 is an example of cube. Cube root of a number is that number which gives the original number when cubed. For eg. 4 is the cube root of 64. Note that cube and cube root of 1 is 1. Perfect cubes are those numbers which have exact cube roots 8, 27, 64 is a list of perfect cubes, as cube roots of them are 2, 3, 4 respectively. Unlike square roots, cube root of negative number is a real number. For eg. -2 is the cube root of -8. Practice many problems on how to solve the cube roots from simplifying cube roots worksheet and use other resource on this page to become proficient in the subject.

Write down the number of which you want to calculate the cube root, separating the digits into groups of three, starting at the decimal point, from both directions. Draw a cube radical sign over the number, and put a decimal point over the radical directly above the decimal point in the number.
I would like to know why the cube root of a given number is equal to that same number to the power of 1/3, ³√x = x to the 1/3 power.
As you probably know, x1/3 is the same as “the cube root of x” (because x1/3*x1/3*x1/3=x1/3+1/3+1/3=x). Another way to write “the cube root of x” is to put a little “3” in the crook of a radical (square root sign). In the title of this story, apparently confusing the two, they put a 1/3 in the crook of the radical!
Multiply the length, width and height of the unit together. Divide the result by 1728 if your measurements were in inches. The resulting number is the case cube in feet cubed. If your measurements were in meters, no division is necessary; your result is the case cube in meters cubed.
