What is the cube root of 3,136?

Answer

∛3,136 =
4∛49 ≈ 14.6372

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 3,136.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 3,136 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛3,136 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
3,136 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × 7 × 7 = 2⁶ × 7²
Take out of the root
∛3,136 = ∛((2³)² × 49) = 2² × ∛49 = 4∛49
Between cubes
14³ = 2,744 < 3,136 < 3,375 = 15³, so 14 < ∛3,136 < 15 and ∛3,136 ≈ 14.6372
