    What is the cube root of −216?

    Answer

    ∛(−216) =
    −6

    Real cube root: the only number whose cube is −216.

    A negative number has a negative cube root: (−6)³ = −216. There is no real square root of −216.

    Sign
    ∛(−216) = −∛216, because (−a)³ = −a³
    Prime factors
    216 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3 × 3) = 2³ × 3³
    Take out of the root
    ∛216 = ∛(2³ × 3³) = 2 × 3 = 6
    Check
    6 × 6 × 6 = 216 ✓

    FAQ

    What is the cube root of −216?

    ∛(−216) = −6

    Why does the cube root of −216 exist but the square root does not?

    A cube keeps the sign: (−6)³ = −216, so ∛(−216) = −6. The square of any real number is never negative, so no real number squared gives −216.

    Is ∛(−216) a rational number?

    Yes: ∛(−216) = −6, a whole number.
