It is a simple problem
(0.000216)= (216/10^6)
(216/10^6)= ((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))
By taking the cube root now
((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))^(1/3)= (6/10^2)
6/100=0.06ans

Friends, I can't understand it.

1^3 = 1, 2^3 = 8, 3^3 = 7, 4^3 = 4, 5^3 = 5, 6^3 = 6, 7^3 = 3, 8^3 = 2, 9^3 = 9.

Can someone explain please?

@Sangita.

Remember that very simple 1^3=1, 2^3=8, 3^3=7, 4^3=4, 5^3=5, 6^3=6, 7^3=3, 8^3=2, 9^3=9.

So 216 unit digit is 6 so guess 6^3=216.

Always keep in mind that a cube root of six digit number is two digit number so cube root of .000216 is .06 and not .6.

0.06.

It is a simple num so easy to find. For large num how to find ? please tell me any simple way if any body know.

Easy method:

0.000216 = [216/10^6].

[0.000216]^1/3 = [216/10^6]^1/3.

= [6^3/10^6]^1/3.

= [6/10^2].

= 6/100=0.06.

It's simple last digit of no is six then I take no six nd three no cancel then I have only.000 so it right to =0.6.

@Reshma, the cube of 6 is 216. Not 196.

And, how is it 0.06? what should we do?
please, anyone, explain me.
