The cube root of a number is a value that when multiplied thrice by itself results back to the original number. Imagine you have a cube (box) with a known volume. The cube root would then be useful to determine the length of one side of the box.

Cube root of 217 using the Halley’s Method

We use the below formula to find the cube root using Halley’s Method:


∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))


In the formula,
a = given number, 217
x = an approximate number close to the cube root of the number, 217. Let’s say x is 6. Therefore, 63 = 216.


Now, let’s apply the formula and find the cube root.


Here, a = 217 and x = 6


Now apply the formula: 


∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))


∛217 ≅ 6((63+2 × 217) / (2 × 63+217)) 

 

∛217 ≅ 6(( 216+434 ) / (2 x 216 + 217))


∛217 ≅ 6((650) / (649))


∛217 ≅   6(1.001)


∛217 ≅  6.006
