FAQ

What is the cube root of 4/5?

∛(4/5) = ∛100/5 ≈ 0.9283

Why is ∛(4/5) = ∛100/5?

∛(4/5) = ∛4/∛5. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by ∛(5²) = ∛25 makes the denominator a perfect cube: ∛100/∛125 = ∛100/5. The value does not change; only the root leaves the denominator.

Is ∛(4/5) a rational number?

No: 4/5 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 ∛(4/5) is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛(4/5) ≈ 0.9283.
