∛121 ≈
4.9461

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 121.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 121 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛121 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
121 = 11 × 11 = 11²
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛121 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
4³ = 64 < 121 < 125 = 5³, so 4 < ∛121 < 5 and ∛121 ≈ 4.9461
