The cube root of 54 is 3.77976314968. The cube root of 54 is expressed as ∛54 in radical form, where the “ ∛ “ sign is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (54)⅓. If “m” is the cube root of 54, then, m3=54. Let us find the value of “m”.
The cube root of 54 is expressed as 3∛2 as its simplest radical form,
since 54 = 3×3×3×2
∛54 = ∛(3×3×3×2)
Group together three same factors at a time and put the remaining factor under the ∛ .
∛54= 3∛2
We can find cube root of 54 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N,
where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is ∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 54.
Step 1: Let a=54. Let us take x as 3, since, 33=27 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 54.
Step 2: Apply the formula. ∛54≅ 3((33+2×54) / (2(3)3+54))= 3.75
Hence, 3.75 is the approximate cubic root of 54.


here are some common mistakes with their solutions are given:
Find ∛54 / 3779.
(∛54) / 3779
= 3.779 /3779
= 0.001
Answer: 0.001
Simplified the expression, and found out the result.
Find ∛(54-(-10)).
∛(54-(-10))
= ∛54+10
= ∛64
= 4
Answer: 4
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
What is ∛(54^6) ?
∛(546)
= ((54)6))1/3
=( 54)2
= 2916
Answer: 2916
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛54=(54)⅓, then solved.
Multiply ∛54 × ∛64 × ∛125
∛54×∛64× ∛125
= 3.779×4×5
= 75.58
Answer: 75.58
We know that the cubic root of 64 is 4 and that of 125 is 5, hence multiplying.
Find ∛(16+(-8)+24+(-7)+2).
∛(16-8+24-7+2)
= ∛27
=3
Answer: 3
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
