∛30 ≈
3.1072

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 30.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 30 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛30 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛30 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 30 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛30 < 4 and ∛30 ≈ 3.1072

Can ∛30 be simplified?

No: no prime appears three times in 30, so its only cube factor is 1 and ∛30 is already in simplest form. Since 3³ = 27 < 30 < 64 = 4³, ∛30 lies between 3 and 4: ∛30 ≈ 3.1072.

Is ∛30 a rational number?

No: 30 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 ∛30 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛30 ≈ 3.1072.
