∛3,087 =
7∛9 ≈ 14.5606

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 3,087.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 3,087 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛3,087 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
3,087 = 3 × 3 × (7 × 7 × 7) = 3² × 7³
Take out of the root
∛3,087 = ∛(7³ × 9) = 7∛9
Between cubes
14³ = 2,744 < 3,087 < 3,375 = 15³, so 14 < ∛3,087 < 15 and ∛3,087 ≈ 14.5606
