∛18 ≈
2.6207

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 18.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 18 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛18 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
18 = 2 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3²
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛18 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
2³ = 8 < 18 < 27 = 3³, so 2 < ∛18 < 3 and ∛18 ≈ 2.6207

Can ∛18 be simplified?

No: no prime appears three times in 18, so its only cube factor is 1 and ∛18 is already in simplest form. Since 2³ = 8 < 18 < 27 = 3³, ∛18 lies between 2 and 3: ∛18 ≈ 2.6207.

Is ∛18 a rational number?

No: 18 is not the cube of a rational number, and the cube root of a fraction p/q in lowest terms is rational only when p and q are both cubes. So ∛18 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛18 ≈ 2.6207.
