Question -

You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root? Similarly, guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.



Answer -

The given perfect cube =1331
Forming groups of three from the rightmost digits of 1331

IInd group = 1
1st group = 331
One’s digit in first group = 1
One’s digit in the required cube root may be 1.
The second group has only 1.
Estimated cube root of 1331 = 11
Thus 
 =11
(i) Given perfect cube = 4913
Forming groups of three from the right most digit of 4913

IInd group = 4
1st group = 913
One’s place digit in 913 is 3.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 7.
Now in IInd group digit is 4
13 < 4 < 23
Ten’s place must be the smallest number 1.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 4913 = 17.
(ii) Given perfect cube = 12167
Forming group of three from the rightmost digits of 12167

We have IInd group = 12
1st group = 167
The ones place digit in 167 is 7.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 3.
Now in Ilnd group, we have 12
2
3 < 12 < 33
Ten’s place of the required cube root of the given number = 2.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 12167 = 23.
(iii) Given perfect cube = 32768
Forming groups of three from the rightmost digits of 32768, we have

IInd group = 32
1st group = 768
One’s place digit in 768 is 8.
One’s place digit in the cube root of the given number may be 2.
Now in IInd group, we have 32
3
3 < 32 < 43
Ten’s place of the cube root of the given number = 3.
Thus, the estimated cube root of 32768 = 32.
