What is a Cube Root Calculator?

A Cube Root Calculator finds the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals the original number. Cube roots are widely used in mathematics, engineering, physics, geometry and computer science.

Simply enter any number and the calculator instantly calculates its cube root, verifies the result and determines whether the number is a perfect cube.

What is a Cube Root?

The cube root of a number is the value that produces the original number when multiplied by itself three times.

For example:

• ∛8 = 2 because 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
• ∛27 = 3 because 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
• ∛125 = 5 because 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

Perfect Cubes

A perfect cube is a number whose cube root is a whole number.

Common Cube Roots

Worked Examples

Example 1 — ∛27

• Input = 27
• Cube Root = 3
• Verification = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
• Perfect Cube = Yes

Example 2 — ∛125

• Input = 125
• Cube Root = 5
• Verification = 5³ = 125

Example 3 — ∛-64

• Input = -64
• Cube Root = -4
• Negative numbers have real cube roots.

Where are Cube Roots Used?

Things to Remember

• Cube roots are the opposite of cubing a number.
• Both positive and negative numbers have real cube roots.
• Perfect cubes have whole-number cube roots.
• Many cube roots are decimal values.
• Cube roots are widely used in science and engineering.
