What is the Cube Root of 140608?

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, ∛140608 is written as 140608(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 140608, then y3 can be 140608. Since the cube root of 140608 is an exact value, we can write it as 52.

Finding the Cube Root of 140608

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 140608. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:

 

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

 

Since 140608 is a perfect cube, we can use the prime factorization method to find its cube root.

Cube Root of 140608 by Prime Factorization

Let's find the cube root of 140608 using the prime factorization method.

 

Step 1: Find the prime factorization of 140608. 140608 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 214

 

Step 2: Group the factors in triples since we are finding the cube root. 214 = (24) × (24) × (24) × (22)

 

Step 3: Take one factor from each group. Cube root = 2^4 = 16

 

Hence, the cube root of 140608 is 52.

Confusing cube roots for non-perfect cube numbers.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might confuse the process of finding cube roots for perfect and non-perfect cubes.

For example, they might think that all numbers have non-exact cube roots like 39. To avoid this error, practice with both perfect and non-perfect cubes. Remember that the cube root of 140608 is exactly 52.

Problem 1

Imagine you have a cube-shaped box that has a total volume of 140608 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Side of the cube = ∛140608 = 52 units

Explanation

To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.

Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 52 units.

Problem 2

A company manufactures 140608 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 50000 cubic meters.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The amount of material left is 90608 cubic meters.

Explanation

To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:

140608 - 50000 = 90608 cubic meters.

Problem 3

A bottle holds 52 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 88 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The total volume of the combined bottles is 140 cubic meters.

Explanation

Let’s add the volume of both bottles:

52 + 88 = 140 cubic meters.

Problem 4

When the cube root of 140608 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

2 × 52 = 104 The cube of 104 = 1124864

Explanation

When we multiply the cube root of 140608 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.

Problem 5

Find ∛(70000+70608).

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

∛(70000+70608) = ∛140608 = 52

Explanation

As shown in the question ∛(70000+70608), we can simplify that by adding them.

So, 70000 + 70608 = 140608.

Then we use this step:

∛140608 = 52 to get the answer.
