Cube Root of 256
The cube root of 256 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 256. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, designing structures, density and mass, used in day-to-day mathematics like exponents, etc.
What Is the Cubic Root of 256?
The cube root of 256 is 6.34960420787. The cube root of 256 is expressed as β256 in radical form, where the “ β “ sign is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (256)1/3. If “m” is the cube root of 256, then, m3=256. Let us find the value of “m”.
Finding the Cubic Root of 256
The cube root of 256 is expressed as 4β4 as its simplest radical form, since
256 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2
β256 = β(2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2)
Group together three same factors at a time and put the remaining factor under β .
β256= 4β4
We can find cube root of 256 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Cubic Root of 256 By Halleyβs Method
Now, what is Halley’s Method?
It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is βa≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 256.
Step 1: Let a=256. Let us take x as 6, since, 63=216 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 256.
Step 2: Apply the formula. β256≅ 6((63+2×256) / (2(6)3+256))= 6.34
Hence, 6.34 is the approximate cubic root of 256.
