The cube root of 100 is the value that, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 100. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, creating digital art, field of engineering, making financial decisions etc.
The cube root of 100 is 4.64158883361. The cube root of 100 is expressed as โ100 in radical form, where the “ โ ” sign is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (100)โ . If “m” is the cube root of 100, then, m3=100. Let us find the value of “m”.
The cube root of 100 is expressed as โ100 as its simplest radical form,
since 100 = 2×2×5×5
โ100 = โ(2×2×5×5)
Group together three same factors at a time and put the remaining factor under the โ .
โ100= โ100
We can find cube root of 100 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
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 โa≅ 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 100.
Step 1: Let a=100. Let us take x as 4, since, 43=64 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 100.
Step 2: Apply the formula. โ100≅ 4((43+2×100) / (2(4)3+100))= 4.63…
Hence, 4.63… is the approximate cubic root of 100.


Here are some common mistakes with their solutions given :
Find (โ200/ โ100) ร (โ200/ โ100) ร (โ200/ โ100)
(โ200/ โ100) × (โ200/ โ100) × (โ200/ โ100)
= (โ200× โ200× โ200) / (โ100× โ100× โ100)
=((200)โ
)3/ ((100)โ
)3
=200/100
=2
Answer: 2
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, โ200=(100)โ and โ100=(100)โ , then solved.
If y = โ100, find yยณ/ yโถ
y=โ100
⇒ y3/y6= (โ100)3 / (โ100)6
⇒ y3/y6
= 100/ (100)2
= 1/100
Answer: 1/100
(โ100)3=(1001/3)3=100, and โ100)6=(1001/3)6=(16)2. Using this, we found the value of y3/y6.
Multiply โ100 ร โ125
โ100×โ125
= 4.641×5
=23.205
Answer: 23.205
We know that the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying โ125 with โ100.
What is โ(100โถ) ?
โ(1006)
= ((100)6))1/3
=( 100)2
= 10000
Answer: 10000
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, โ100=(100)โ
, then solved.
Find โ(100+(-36)).
โ(100-36)
= โ64
=4
Answer: 4
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
