∛52 ≈
3.7325

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 52.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 52 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛52 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
52 = 2 × 2 × 13 = 2² × 13
Take out of the root
No prime appears three times, so ∛52 is already in simplest form.
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 52 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛52 < 4 and ∛52 ≈ 3.7325

Can ∛52 be simplified?

No: no prime appears three times in 52, so its only cube factor is 1 and ∛52 is already in simplest form. Since 3³ = 27 < 52 < 64 = 4³, ∛52 lies between 3 and 4: ∛52 ≈ 3.7325.

Is ∛52 a rational number?

No: 52 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 ∛52 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛52 ≈ 3.7325.
