What cube root equals 874? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 874? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 874
To solve the ∛x = 874 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 874³
x = 874³
Then, we calculate 874³ to get the following answer:
874³ = 874 × 874 × 874
874³ = 667,627,624
∛667,627,624 = 874
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.
