Find the cube root of the following numbers through estimation?

512

Given number as 512. We need to find out the cube root using estimation method.

Step 1: start making groups of three digits starting from the units place.

⇒ 512 as first group and it has no second group

Step 2: first group will give us the units digit of the cube root.

⇒ 512 ends with 2, cube of 2 = 2³ = 8

∴ 8 will go in units place

Step 3: Now, we do not have second group to calculate

8 becomes the required cube root.

∴ = 8

Hence, the cube root of 512 using estimation method is 8
