What is the cube root of 50
The short answer is \( \sqrt[3]{ 50 } = 3.684031 \).
If that's all you're looking for, thanks for coming by. But if you're interested in the hows and whys behind cube roots, continue reading and we'll tell you all about the cube root of 50.
50 is not a perfect cube
Let's look at some math
$$ \LARGE \sqrt[3]{ 50 } = 3.684031 $$
Note that \(3.684031\) is not a whole number, therefore 50 is not a perfect cube.
The next perfect cube greater than 50 is 64. The previous perfect cube less than 50 is 27.
Cube root of 50 as an exponent
Any cube root can be converted to a number with a fractional exponent. In the case of 50 the following two values are equal.
$$ \LARGE \sqrt[3]{ 50 } = 50^{^1/_3} $$
Cube root of 50 as a fraction
Since 50 is not a perfect cube, sometimes we might want to get a fractional estimate of the cube root value. In the case of 50 that value is \(\Large 3 \frac{13}{19}\).
