What is the cube root of 54?

Answer

∛54 =
3∛2 ≈ 3.7798

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 54.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 54 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛54 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
54 = 2 × (3 × 3 × 3) = 2 × 3³
Take out of the root
∛54 = ∛(3³ × 2) = 3∛2
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 54 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛54 < 4 and ∛54 ≈ 3.7798

How to simplify ∛54?

Factor 54 into primes: 54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3. Each triple of equal factors is a cube and comes out of the root as one factor; the rest stays under it: ∛54 = ∛(3³ × 2) = 3∛2.

Is ∛54 a rational number?

No: 54 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 ∛54 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛54 ≈ 3.7798.
