Cube root is a special value that, when multiplied three times by itself, gives the original number. Cube roots can help in solving equations, simplifying calculations, and understanding the volumes of cubes. In this topic, we will learn cube roots from 1 to 50 in a simple way with solved examples.
When multiplying a number three times gives the original number, it is known as a cube root. It is the reverse of finding the cube of a number. It is represented by the symbol ∛x, where x is the number. For example, ∛27 is 3 because by multiplying 3 by itself three times we will get the original value (27), 3 × 3 × 3 = 27.

When an integer is multiplied by itself, three times perfect cube is formed. The cube root of a perfect cube is always an integer. The perfect cubes from 1 to 50 are 1, 8, and 27.
When we multiply a number three times by itself, and it does not result in integers, it is a non-perfect cube. All the numbers from 1 to 50 except 1, 8, and 27 are non-perfect cubes.
By calculating the cube roots from 1 to 50, we use the following two methods. They are,
The prime factorization method breaks down a number into its prime factors and finds the cube root. We can see clearly about this in the following steps.
Step 1: The given number is prime factorized
Step 2: List the factors and group the same factors in a group of 3
Step 3: Remove the cube root and multiply the factors. If a factor is left out that cannot be grouped, that means that is not a perfect cube.
Let’s check the cube root of 27,
Step 1: Prime factorization of 27 = 3 × 3 × 3
Step 2: Grouping the factors ∛(3 × 3 × 3)
Step 3: Cube root of 27 = 3
In the estimation method, the cube root of the number is calculated by estimating the nearby perfect cubes.
Finding the cube root of 18
Step 1: We find the nearest perfect cubes
The nearest perfect cubes of 18 are 8(23) and 27(32)
Step 2: Find the nearest number
Here the nearest cube root is 8, so the cube root of 18 is near to 2.
Step 3: Estimate the value by cubing it
Checking the cube root by cubing. 2.13 = 9.261, 2.43 = 13.824, 2.63 = 17.576, 2.73 = 19.683.
So, the estimated value of the cube root of 18 is 2.62
As we discussed there are different methods to find the cube root of a number. So let’s discuss some of the basic rules to find the cube root from 1 to 50.
Rule 1: Exact Cubes
The exact cube is also known as the perfect cube. A perfect cube is a number when cubed gives the number. The exact cubes from 1 to 50 are 1(13), 8(23), 27(33).
Rule 2: Approximation for Non-Exact Cubes
In approximation, the cube root is calculated by estimating the nearest perfect cube. For instance, the cube root of 18 in the approximation method can be calculated by estimating the nearest perfect cubes. Here the nearest perfect cubes are 23(8) and 33(27), so the cube root of 18 is 2.62.
Rule 3: Properties of Cube Roots
The cube of a negative number is always negative. That is ∛(-27 )= -3. When multiplying or dividing cube root we can split the numbers into its cube root and so the operations. For instance, ∛(27 × 8) = ∛27 × ∛8 and ∛(64 / 8) = ∛64 / ∛8.
Rule 4: Using Cube Root Formula
The formula to find the value of the cube root of a number is x = ∛y so, x = y1/3. Which means finding the value of the cube root of 27 using the formula. Here y = 27, so x = ∛27 = 3.
Now let’s learn a few tips and tricks for cube root 1 to 50. These tips and tricks can make the learning process easier and more interesting.

A wooden block set contains 64 tiny cubes. If arranged into a large cube, how many cubes are on each edge?
The number of cubes in each edge is 4
As all the sides of the cube are same. To find the number of small cubes in each edge, we find the cube root of 64.
Number of tiny cubes in each edge = ∛64 = 4

Each row has 2 oranges per row
To find the number of oranges in a row we find the cube root of 8
That is ∛8 = 2

The number of cubes in a row is 5
To find the cube in a row we find the cube root of 125
So, the number of cubes in a row = ∛125 = 5
