What is the cube root of 88?

Answer

∛88 =
2∛11 ≈ 4.448

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 88.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 88 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛88 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Prime factors
88 = (2 × 2 × 2) × 11 = 2³ × 11
Take out of the root
∛88 = ∛(2³ × 11) = 2∛11
Between cubes
4³ = 64 < 88 < 125 = 5³, so 4 < ∛88 < 5 and ∛88 ≈ 4.448

∛88 = 2∛11 ≈ 4.448

How to simplify ∛88?

Factor 88 into primes: 88 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11. Each triple of equal factors is a cube and comes out of the root as one factor; the rest stays under it: ∛88 = ∛(2³ × 11) = 2∛11.

Is ∛88 a rational number?

No: 88 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 ∛88 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛88 ≈ 4.448.
