≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 26 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛26 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
26 = 2 × 13
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛26 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
2³ = 8 < 26 < 27 = 3³, so 2 < ∛26 < 3 and ∛26 ≈ 2.9625
