#64^(1/3) = 4#

#64^(1/3) = root3(64)#

When finding roots of integers it is often helpful to express the integer as its prime factors.

#64 = 2xx2xx2xx2xx2xx2#

#:. root3(64) =root3(2xx2xx2xx2xx2xx2)#

We can now take each triple through the #root# one time.

#:. root3(64) = 2xx2 = 4#

Hence, #64^(1/3) = 4#
