    What is the cube root of −125?

    Answer

    ∛(−125) =
    −5

    Real cube root: the only number whose cube is −125.

    A negative number has a negative cube root: (−5)³ = −125. There is no real square root of −125.

    Sign
    ∛(−125) = −∛125, because (−a)³ = −a³
    Prime factors
    125 = (5 × 5 × 5) = 5³
    Take out of the root
    ∛125 = ∛(5³) = 5
    Check
    5 × 5 × 5 = 125 ✓

    FAQ

    What is the cube root of −125?

    ∛(−125) = −5

    Why does the cube root of −125 exist but the square root does not?

    A cube keeps the sign: (−5)³ = −125, so ∛(−125) = −5. The square of any real number is never negative, so no real number squared gives −125.

    Is ∛(−125) a rational number?

    Yes: ∛(−125) = −5, a whole number.
