What is the cube root of 56?

Answer

∛56 =
2∛7 ≈ 3.8259

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 56.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 56 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛56 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
56 = (2 × 2 × 2) × 7 = 2³ × 7
Take out of the root
∛56 = ∛(2³ × 7) = 2∛7
Between cubes
3³ = 27 < 56 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛56 < 4 and ∛56 ≈ 3.8259

How to simplify ∛56?

Factor 56 into primes: 56 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7. Each triple of equal factors is a cube and comes out of the root as one factor; the rest stays under it: ∛56 = ∛(2³ × 7) = 2∛7.

Is ∛56 a rational number?

No: 56 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 ∛56 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛56 ≈ 3.8259.
