Cube Root of 456533

We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.

In exponential form, ∛456533 is written as 456533^(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 456533, then y³ can be 456533. Since the cube root of 456533 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 76.724.

Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 456533. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below: 

• Prime factorization method 
• Approximation method 
• Subtraction method 
• Halley’s method

To find the cube root of a non-perfect number, we often follow Halley’s method. Since 456533 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.

Let's find the cube root of 456533 using Halley’s method.

The formula is ∛a ≅ x((x³ + 2a) / (2x³ + a))

where: a = the number for which the cube root is being calculated

x = the nearest perfect cube

Substituting,

a = 456533;

x = 76

∛a ≅ 76((76³ + 2 × 456533) / (2 × 76³ + 456533))

∛456533 ≅ 76((438976 + 913066) / (877952 + 456533))

∛456533 ≅ 76.724

The cube root of 456533 is approximately 76.724.

• Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number.
   
• Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. A perfect cube always results in a whole number. For example, 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, therefore, 8 is a perfect cube.
   
• Exponent: The exponent form of the number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In a^(1/3), ⅓ is the exponent which denotes the cube root of a.
   
• Radical sign: The symbol that is used to represent a root which is expressed as (∛).
   
• Irrational number: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction are irrational. For example, the cube root of 456533 is irrational because its decimal form goes on continuously without repeating the numbers.
