What cube root equals 868? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 868? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 868
To solve the ∛x = 868 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 868³
x = 868³
Then, we calculate 868³ to get the following answer:
868³ = 868 × 868 × 868
868³ = 653,972,032
∛653,972,032 = 868
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.
