We will learn the cube root concept to use it on other mathematical topics like algebra, mensuration, geometry, trigonometry, etc. So, it is as important as learning square roots. Let us now see how we can obtain the cube root value of 8000, and its examples.
The cube root of 8000 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 8000. The cube root of 8000 is 20. The cube root of 8000 is expressed as β8000 in radical form, where the “ β ” sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (8000)β
. If “m” is the cube root of 8000, then, m3=8000. Let us find the value of “m”.
The cube root of 8000 can be found through various methods like:
The steps involved to find β8000 are:
Step 1: Find the prime factors of 8000
After factoring 8000, make groups of three same factors out of the prime factors to get the cube root.
8000 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×5×5×5
β8000 = β(2×2×2×2×2×2×5×5×5)= 2×2×5=20
After grouping together three same factors at a time, put the remaining factor under β.
Here, for 8000, no remaining factors are there. We get 3 groups of prime factor, i.e., (2×2×2), (2×2×2), (5×5×5)
So, 8000 is a Perfect cube. β8000=20.
