What is the cube root of 864?

Answer

∛864 =
6∛4 ≈ 9.5244

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 864.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 864 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛864 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
864 = (2 × 2 × 2) × 2 × 2 × (3 × 3 × 3) = 2⁵ × 3³
Take out of the root
∛864 = ∛(2³ × 3³ × 4) = 2 × 3 × ∛4 = 6∛4
Between cubes
9³ = 729 < 864 < 1,000 = 10³, so 9 < ∛864 < 10 and ∛864 ≈ 9.5244

How to simplify ∛864?

Factor 864 into primes: 864 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 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: ∛864 = ∛(2³ × 3³ × 4) = 6∛4.

Is ∛864 a rational number?

No: 864 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 ∛864 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛864 ≈ 9.5244.
