What is the cube root of 1,536?

Answer

∛1,536 =
8∛3 ≈ 11.538

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 1,536.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 1,536 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛1,536 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
1,536 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × 3 = 2⁹ × 3
Take out of the root
∛1,536 = ∛((2³)³ × 3) = 2³ × ∛3 = 8∛3
Between cubes
11³ = 1,331 < 1,536 < 1,728 = 12³, so 11 < ∛1,536 < 12 and ∛1,536 ≈ 11.538
