What is the cube root of 625?

Answer

∛625 =
5∛5 ≈ 8.5499

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 625.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 625 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛625 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
625 = (5 × 5 × 5) × 5 = 5⁴
Take out of the root
∛625 = ∛(5³ × 5) = 5∛5
Between cubes
8³ = 512 < 625 < 729 = 9³, so 8 < ∛625 < 9 and ∛625 ≈ 8.5499

∛625 = 5∛5 ≈ 8.5499

How to simplify ∛625?

Factor 625 into primes: 625 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5. Each triple of equal factors is a cube and comes out of the root as one factor; the rest stays under it: ∛625 = ∛(5³ × 5) = 5∛5.

Is ∛625 a rational number?

No: 625 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 ∛625 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛625 ≈ 8.5499.
