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 4096, and its examples.
The cube root of 4096 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 4096. The cube root of 4096 is 16. The cube root of 4096 is expressed as β4096 in radical form, where the “ β ” sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (4096)β
. If “m” is the cube root of 4096, then, m3=4096. Let us find the value of “m”.
The cube root of 4096 can be found through various methods like:
The steps involved to find β4096 are:
Find the prime factors of 4096
After factoring 4096, make groups of three same factors out of the prime factors to get the cube root.
4096 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2
β4096 = β(2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2)= 2×2×2×2=16
After grouping together three same factors at a time, put the remaining factor under β.
Here, for 4096, no remaining factors are there. We get 4 groups of prime factor 2, i.e., (2×2×2), (2×2×2), (2×2×2), (2×2×2)
So, 4096 is a Perfect cube. β4096=16.
2) The cube root of a negative number is also negative.
3) If the cube root of a number is a whole number, then that original number is said to be perfect cube
