3. You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root?
Similarly, guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Solution:

(i) By grouping the digits, we get 1 and 331


We know that, since, the unit digit of cube is 1, the unit digit of cube root is 1.
∴ We get 1 as unit digit of the cube root of 1331.
The cube of 1 matches with the number of second group.
∴ The ten's digit of our cube root is taken as the unit place of smallest number.
We know that, the unit’s digit of the cube of a number having digit as unit’s place 1 is 1.
∴ ∛1331 = 11

(ii) By grouping the digits, we get 4 and 913


We know that, since, the unit digit of cube is 3, the unit digit of cube root is 7.
∴ we get 7 as unit digit of the cube root of 4913. We
know 13 = 1 and 23 = 8 , 1 > 4 > 8.
Thus, 1 is taken as ten digit of cube root.
∴ ∛4913 = 17

(iii) By grouping the digits, we get 12 and 167.


We know that, since, the unit digit of cube is 7, the unit digit of cube root is 3.
∴ 3 is the unit digit of the cube root of 12167 We
know 23 = 8 and 33 = 27 , 8 > 12 > 27.
NCERT Solution For Class 8 Maths Chapter 7- Cubes and Cube roots

Thus, 2 is taken as ten digit of cube root.


∴ ∛12167= 23

(iv) By grouping the digits, we get 32 and 768.


We know that, since, the unit digit of cube is 8, the unit digit of cube root is 2.
∴ 2 is the unit digit of the cube root of 32768. We
know 33 = 27 and 43 = 64 , 27 > 32 > 64.
Thus, 3 is taken as ten digit of cube root.
∴ ∛32768= 32
