Find Cube Root of Any Number

This document provides instructions for finding the cube root of any number. It explains that the number must be a perfect cube and lists the cubes of numbers 1-9. It then outlines steps to find the cube root: 1) find the last digit of the cube root based on the last digit of the given number, 2) ignore the last 3 digits of the given number and find the nearest cube, 3) append the last digit to get the cube root. It provides examples calculating the cube root of 19683 (answer is 27) and 79507 (answer is 43) to demonstrate the method.

Find Cube Root of Any Number

Instructions:

Number must be a perfect cube.


You must know cubes of number from 1 to 9.

(1)3 = 1; (2)3 = 8; (3)3 = 27; (4)3 = 64 (5)3 = 125 (6)3 = 216 (7)3 = 343 (8)3 = 512; (9)3 = 729;
Hence we know:

If last digit of a number is 1, last digit of its cube must be 1


If last digit of a number is 2, last digit of its cube must be 8
If last digit of a number is 3, last digit of its cube must be 7
If last digit of a number is 4, last digit of its cube must be 4
If last digit of a number is 5, last digit of its cube must be 5
If last digit of a number is 6, last digit of its cube must be 6
If last digit of a number is 7, last digit of its cube must be 3
If last digit of a number is 8, last digit of its cube must be 2
If last digit of a number is 9, last digit of its cube must be 9
If last digit of a number is 0, last digit of its cube must be 0

To find cube root of any number follow steps below:


1. First find unit digit of cube root from last digit of number. ( If last digit of number is 2, last
digit of the cube root must be 8 or if last digit of number is 4, last digit of the cube root must
be 4)
2. Now ignore last 3 digits of the number and find lowest nearest cube root of the number. ( if
number is 12167 we will ignore 167 and lowest nearest cube root of 12 is 2 ((2)3 = 8)
3. Append last digit to this number and this is your answer.
Follow examples below to understand it better:
Eg. 1:
Find cube root of 19683
Step -1 => Here last digit is 3, so corresponding cube root's last digit must be 7.
Step -2 => Now we will ignore 683 (last three digits) and number we are left with is 19.
Step -3 => Perfect lowest cube near 19 is 8 and its cube root is 2.
Step -4 => Appending unit's digit with 2 we got 27.
Hence cube root of 19683 is = 27. (Ans)
Eg. 2:

Find cube root of 79507

Step -1 => Here last digit is 7, so corresponding cube root's last digit must be 3.
Step -2 => Now we will ignore 507 (last three digits) and number we are left with is 79.
Step -3 => Perfect lowest cube near 79 is 64 and its cube root is 4.
Step -4 => Appending unit's digit with 4 we got 43.
Hence cube root of 79507 is = 43. (Ans)
