Question:

You are told that 1331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root?

Solution:

The given number is 1331. Let us form groups of three digits starting from the rightmost digit. Therefore, the two groups are 1 and 331. Consider the group 331. We take the unit's place of the required cube root as 1. Consider the group 1. The unit's place of 1 is 1 itself. So, we take 1 as the ten's place of the cube root of 1331 as 1. Thus, ³√1331 = 11. Similarly, 4913 → 4 and 913 → ³√4913 = 17. 12167 → 12 and 167 → ³√12167 = 23. 32768 → 32 and 768 → ³√32768 = 32
