Cube root of 216- value and calculation
CUBE ROOT OF 216
The cube root of 216 is equal to 6. This means that when we multiply the number 6 three times by itself, we get the product 216.
How to find the cube root?
To find the cube root of a number, we can use the prime factorisation method. By evaluating the prime factors we will make the groups of threes of the same digits and the cube is eliminated by the cube root. This is the easiest method to find the cube root of any number.
How to calculate the cube root of 216?
On performing the prime factorisation of 216, we get- 2×3×2×3×2×3.
The groups of threes of the same factors = 23×33
On applying the cube root, we get ∛(2×3)3 = ∛63, which is equal to 6.
Hence, 6 is the cube root of 216.
