∛18/3 ≈ 0.8736

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 2/3.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 2/3 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛(2/3) is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Root of a fraction
∛(2/3) = ∛2/∛3
Multiply by ∛(3²) = ∛9

What is the cube root of 2/3?

∛(2/3) = ∛18/3 ≈ 0.8736

Why is ∛(2/3) = ∛18/3?

∛(2/3) = ∛2/∛3. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by ∛(3²) = ∛9 makes the denominator a perfect cube: ∛18/∛27 = ∛18/3. The value does not change; only the root leaves the denominator.

Is ∛(2/3) a rational number?

No: 2/3 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 ∛(2/3) is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛(2/3) ≈ 0.8736.
