What is the cube root of 490?

Answer

∛490 ≈
7.8837

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 490.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 490 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛490 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
490 = 2 × 5 × 7 × 7 = 2 × 5 × 7²
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛490 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
7³ = 343 < 490 < 512 = 8³, so 7 < ∛490 < 8 and ∛490 ≈ 7.8837
