What is the cube root of 2,400?

Answer

∛2,400 =
2∛300 ≈ 13.3887

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 2,400.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 2,400 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛2,400 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
2,400 = (2 × 2 × 2) × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 2⁵ × 3 × 5²
Take out of the root
∛2,400 = ∛(2³ × 300) = 2∛300
Between cubes
13³ = 2,197 < 2,400 < 2,744 = 14³, so 13 < ∛2,400 < 14 and ∛2,400 ≈ 13.3887
