Identify the number you want the cube root of
Use the symbol ∛x or x^(1/3)
Find a number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals the original number
For perfect cubes, use known values such as ∛8 = 2, ∛27 = 3, ∛64 = 4
For non-perfect cubes, estimate between nearby perfect cubes
Use a calculator and enter the number followed by the cube root function if needed
Check your result by cubing it to see if it matches the original number
