A cube root of a number is a value, when it is multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. Imagine you have a cube (box) with the known volume. The cube root helps us determine the length of one side of the box.

What Is The Cube Root Of 361?

The cube root of 361 is the number which, when multiplied three times, we get a number that is equal to 361. Let’s explore some steps and methods to calculate the cube root of 361.


The cube root of 361: ∛361 = 7.12


The exponential form of the cube root of 361: 3611/3


The radical form of the cube root of 361: ∛361
 

Finding The Cube Root Of 361

To find the cube root of 361, we use the following methods:

  • Prime factorization
  • Approximation method
  • Long division 
  • Subtraction method
  • Halley’s method is used for those numbers which are not perfect cubes.

Cube Root Of 361 By Halley’s Method

We use the below formula to find the cube root using Halley’s Method;
∛a ≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))


In the formula; 
a = given number, 361
x = an approximate number close to the cube root of the number, 361:  73= 343


Let’s apply the formula and find the Cube Root:
A = 361, for the approximate method we choose, x = 7, it is the nearest cube (73= 343). 


Now apply the formula; 


∛a ≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a))


∛361 ≅ 7((73+2 × 361) / (2 × 73+361)) = 7.12


Hence, the approximate cube of 361 ≅ 7.12
