6.2573

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 245.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 245 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛245 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
245 = 5 × 7 × 7 = 5 × 7²
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛245 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
6³ = 216 < 245 < 343 = 7³, so 6 < ∛245 < 7 and ∛245 ≈ 6.2573
