What is the cube root of 1,521?

Answer

∛1,521 ≈
11.5003

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 1,521.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 1,521 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛1,521 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
1,521 = 3 × 3 × 13 × 13 = 3² × 13²
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛1,521 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
11³ = 1,331 < 1,521 < 1,728 = 12³, so 11 < ∛1,521 < 12 and ∛1,521 ≈ 11.5003
