∛3,888 =
6∛18 ≈ 15.7244

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 3,888.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 3,888 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛3,888 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
3,888 = (2 × 2 × 2) × 2 × (3 × 3 × 3) × 3 × 3 = 2⁴ × 3⁵
Take out of the root
∛3,888 = ∛(2³ × 3³ × 18) = 2 × 3 × ∛18 = 6∛18
Between cubes
15³ = 3,375 < 3,888 < 4,096 = 16³, so 15 < ∛3,888 < 16 and ∛3,888 ≈ 15.7244
