∛51 ≈
3.7084

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 51.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 51 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛51 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
51 = 3 × 17
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛51 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 51 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛51 < 4 and ∛51 ≈ 3.7084
