∛108 = 4.762203.
We can arrive at the cube root of a given number using;
Halley’s method is a proven effective method for finding the cube root of a number. We use the below formula;
∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))
In the formula;
a = given number, 108
x = integer guess for the cube root, i.e., a number close to the cube root of 108
Steps to find the cube root:
a = 108, for approximation choose, x = 4, it is the nearest cube (43=64).
Now apply the formula;
∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))
∛108≅ 4((43+2.108) / (2.43+108)) = 4.76
The approximate cube of 108 = 4.76
While solving ∛108, few mistakes are common in children’s worksheet. To avoid those mistakes, few solutions are given below -
Confusing cube roots with square roots
Sometimes one may think ∛108 and √108 are the same, leading to unnecessary calculations.
Faulty application of exponent rules
While practicing, one may get confused between the cube root (∛a) of a number and cubing a number (a3), be mindful.
Rounding too early
Do not round off when intermediate results are achieved, if the calculation is not complete.


(∛108+∛108)×∛108, simplify.
(∛108+∛108)×∛108
= (4.762+4.762)×4.762
= 9.524×4.762
= 45.37
The simplified value is 45.37.
If x= ∛108, find x²-x.
x = 4.762
x2 = 22.68
x2 −x = 22.68−4.762
= 17.92
x2-x is 17.92.
Multiply ∛108 and ∛216
∛108×∛216
= 4.762×6
= 28.57
multiplying value of cube root of 108 and 216 togather.
1083= 10823
√108 → 6√3
No, 108 is not a perfect square number.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54 and 108.
You can make 108 a perfect cube by just adding 17. 108+17 =125, 125 is a perfect cube.
