Cube roots of perfect cubes Using Vedic
Mathematics
It may take two-three minutes to find out cube root of a perfect cube by using
conventional method. However we can find out cube roots of perfect cubes very fast, say
in one-two seconds using Vedic Mathematics.
We need to remember some interesting properties of numbers to do these quick mental
calculations which are given below.
Points to remember for speedy calculation of cube roots of perfect
cubes
1. To calculate cube root of any perfect cube quickly, we need to remember the
cubes of 1 to 10 which is given below.
1
27
64
125
216
343
512
729
10
1000
2. From the above cubes of 1 to 10, we need to remember an interesting
property.
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 1, the last digit of the cube root
=>
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 8, the last digit of the cube root
=2
27
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 7, the last digit of the cube root
=3
64
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 4, the last digit of the cube root
=4
125
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube =5, the last digit of the cube root
=5
216
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 6, the last digit of the cube root
=6
343
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 3, the last digit of the cube root
=7
512
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 2, the last digit of the cube root
=8
729
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 9, the last digit of the cube root
=9
10
1000
=>
If the last digit of the perfect cube = 0, the last digit of the cube root
=0
=1

Its very easy to remember the relations given above because
1
->
(Same numbers)
->
(10s complement of 8 is 2 and 8+2 = 10)
->
(10s complement of 7 is 3 and 7+3 = 10)
->
(Same numbers)
->
(Same numbers)
->
(Same numbers)
->
(10s complement of 2 is 7 and 3+7 = 10)
->
(10s complement of 2 is 8 and 2+8 = 10)
->
(Same numbers)
->
(Same numbers)
Also See
8 -> 2 and 2 -> 8
7 -> 3 and 3-> 7
If we observe the properties of numbers, Mathematics will be a very interesting subject
and easy to learn.Now lets see how we can actually find out the cube roots of perfect
cubes very fast.
Example 1: Find Cube Root of 4913
Step 1:
Identify the last three digits and make groups of three three digits from right side. That is
4913 can be written as
4, 913
Step 2
Take the last group which is 913. The last digit of 913 is 3.
Remember point 2, If the last digit of the perfect cube = 3, the last digit of the cube root
=7
Hence the right most digit of the cube root = 7
Step 3
Take the next group which is 4 .
Find out which maximum cube we can subtract from 4 such that the result >= 0.
We can subtract 1 = 1 from 4 because 4 - 1 = 3 (If we subtract 2 = 8 from 4,
48=
-4 which is < 0)
Hence the left neighbor digit of the answer = 1.
That is , the answer = 17
Example 2: Find Cube Root of 804357
Step 1:
Identify the last three digits and make groups of three three digits from right side. That is
804357 can be written as
804, 357
Step 2
Take the last group which is 357. The last digit of 357 is 7.
Remember point 2, If the last digit of the perfect cube = 7, the last digit of the cube root
=3
Hence the right most digit of the cube root = 3
Step 3
Take the next group which is 804 . Find out which maximum cube we can subtract from 4
such that the result >= 0. We can subtract 9 = 729 from 804 because 804 - 729
=

75 (If we subtract 10 = 1000 from 729

729
1000 = -271 which is < 0)
Hence the left neighbor digit of the answer = 9
That is , the answer = 93

this method is only applicable for finding cube root upto 6 digit numbers. But very nice
though.

How to find cube root of 10 digit no.
swarup
1 month ago
for that u need to know the cube of 10-20 or may be 20-30.
process is all same u have to solve unit digit rule as above then neglect last 3 digits and
find the no whose cube value is nearest to remaining 7 digits.
if u cant then do again or reply back.
