Here we will explain how to simplify the cube root of 5960 (∛5960). We start by labeling the parts of ∛5960 so it is easy to follow along:
∛5960 = 1∛5960 = c∛r
c = coefficient of the radical
∛ = radical
r = radicand
The cube root of 5960 in its simplest form means that you want the radicand to be as small as possible and the coefficient of the radical to be as large as possible.
To simplify the cube root of 5960, we first find the greatest perfect cube from the list of factors of 5960. The factors of 5960 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 149, 298, 596, 745, 1192, 1490, 2980, and 5960.
Any number multiplied by itself three times will make a perfect cube. The greatest perfect cube from the list of factors above is 8 (2 times 2 times 2 equals 8).
To find the simplified radicand (r) in the cube root of 5960, we divide 5960 by 8, which gives us 745.
To find the simplified coefficient of the radical (c) in the cube root of 5960, we take the cube root of 8, which gives us 2.
That is how you simplify the cube root of 5960. Therefore, the cube root of 5960 in its simplest radical form is as follows:
∛5960 = 2∛745
