4.891

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 117.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 117 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛117 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
117 = 3 × 3 × 13 = 3² × 13
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛117 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
4³ = 64 < 117 < 125 = 5³, so 4 < ∛117 < 5 and ∛117 ≈ 4.891
