What cube root equals 497? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 497? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 497
To solve the ∛x = 497 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 497³
x = 497³
Then, we calculate 497³ to get the following answer:
497³ = 497 × 497 × 497
497³ = 122,763,473
∛122,763,473 = 497
We made the equation above so you will get a full understanding of how to solve problems like this. In the future, note that you can solve all similar problems by simply multiplying the number by itself twice to get the answer.
