Calculate Cube Root
What Is a Cube Root?
A cube root is a number that, when multiplied by itself three times, produces the original number. In mathematical notation, the cube root of a number x is written as ∛x.
For example, the cube root of 27 is 3 because 3 × 3 × 3 = 27. Similarly, the cube root of 64 is 4 because 4 × 4 × 4 = 64.
Unlike square roots, cube roots can also be calculated for negative numbers. For example, ∛(-27) = -3.

How Does the Cube Root Calculator Work?
The calculator uses the mathematical cube root operation to determine the number that produces your input when raised to the third power.
The basic relationship is:
∛x = y when y³ = x.
Example: Cube Root of 125
To find the cube root of 125, we need to determine which number multiplied by itself three times equals 125.
5 × 5 × 5 = 125
Therefore: ∛125 = 5
Example: Cube Root of a Negative Number
Cube roots also work with negative numbers. For example:
(-4) × (-4) × (-4) = -64
Therefore: ∛(-64) = -4
Common Cube Roots
Some common perfect cubes and their cube roots are:
- ∛1 = 1
- ∛8 = 2
- ∛27 = 3
- ∛64 = 4
- ∛125 = 5
- ∛216 = 6
- ∛343 = 7
- ∛512 = 8
- ∛729 = 9
- ∛1000 = 10
