Cube Root of 779
A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various applications in real life, such as determining the side length of a cube given its volume and in various engineering calculations. We will now find the cube root of 779 and explain the methods used.
What is the Cube Root of 779?
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, ∛779 is written as 779(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 779, then y³ can be 779. Since the cube root of 779 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 9.145.
Finding the Cube Root of 779
Finding the cube root of a number involves identifying the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, results in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 779. 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 779 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.
Cube Root of 779 by Halley’s method
Let's find the cube root of 779 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 = 779;
x = 9
∛a ≅ 9((9³ + 2 × 779) / (2 × 9³ + 779))
∛779 ≅ 9((729 + 2 × 779) / (2 × 729 + 779))
∛779 ≅ 9.145
The cube root of 779 is approximately 9.145.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 779
Finding the cube root of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Mistake 1
Trying to find perfect cube roots for non-perfect cube numbers.
Children often try to calculate an exact whole number for the cube root of numbers like 779, which are not perfect cubes.
For example, they assume that they would get an exact whole number for 779 like they get for 729 (since ³√729 = 9). To avoid this error, understand that some numbers don't have a perfect cube root; for example, the cube root of 779 is approximately 9.145.
Cube Root of 779 Examples:
Problem 1
Imagine you have a cube-shaped container that has a total volume of 779 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛779 = 9.145 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 approximately 9.145 units.
Problem 2
A company manufactures 779 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 300 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 479 cubic meters.
Explanation
To find the remaining material, subtract the used material from the total amount: 779 - 300 = 479 cubic meters.
Problem 3
A tank holds 779 cubic meters of water. Another tank holds a volume of 200 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the tanks are combined?
The total volume of the combined tanks is 979 cubic meters.
Explanation
Let’s add the volume of both tanks: 779 + 200 = 979 cubic meters.
Problem 4
When the cube root of 779 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 9.145 = 18.29 The cube of 18.29 = 6117.12
Explanation
When we multiply the cube root of 779 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Problem 5
Find ∛(450 + 329).
∛(450 + 329) = ∛779 ≈ 9.145
Explanation
As shown in the question ∛(450 + 329), we can simplify by adding them. So, 450 + 329 = 779. Then we use this step: ∛779 ≈ 9.145 to get the answer.

Important Glossaries for Cube Root of 779
- 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 put in fractional forms are irrational. For example, the cube root of 779 is irrational because its decimal form goes on continuously without repeating the numbers.
