Q2 of 85 Page 146

Find the cube root of the following numbers through estimation?

5832

Given number as 5832. We need to find out the cube root using estimation method.

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


832 as first group and 5 as second group


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


832 ends with 2, cube of 2 = 23 = 8


8 will go in units place


Step 3: Now, take second group. i.e 5


we know 13 < 5 < 23


As the smallest number is 1, it becomes the tens place of the required cube root.


= 18


Hence, the cube root of 5832 using estimation method is 18
