3.5569

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 45.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 45 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛45 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
45 = 3 × 3 × 5 = 3² × 5
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛45 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 45 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛45 < 4 and ∛45 ≈ 3.5569
