Cube root of 2 (∛2)

Cube root of 2

Here we will show you the answer to the cube root of 2 in decimal form and in its simplest radical form. But before that, we start by showing you the cube root of 2 written in mathematical terms:

∛2

The √ is called the radical symbol, the little 3 is the index which means cube, and 2 is the radicand.

The cube root of 2 is a number (n) that when multiplied by itself twice will equal 2. In other words, the cube root of 2 is the number (n) in the following equation:

n × n × n = 2

∛2 is the same as 2^⅓. Therefore, to solve the problem in Excel or Numbers, you can enter 2^(1/3) to get the answer to the cube root of 2. However, we used a scientific calculator and typed in 2 and then pressed the [∛x] button. We got the following answer:

∛2 ≈ 1.2599

You can simplify the cube root of 2 if you can make the radicand smaller. This is called the cube root of 2 in its simplest radical form. The answer to the cube root 2 in its simplest form is displayed below:

∛2 = Cannot be simplified
