<h2>What is the Cube Root of 870?</h2>

<p>We have learned the definition<a>of</a>the<a>cube</a>root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a<a>symbol</a>and<a>exponent</a>. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓. In<a>exponential form</a>, ∛870 is written as 870(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a<a>number</a>. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 870, then y3 can be 870. Since the cube root of 870 is not an exact value, so we can write it as approximately 9.5459.</p>
