#root3(1) = root3(1xx1xx1) =1#

Explanation:

#1# is an amazing number!!

It is the only number which is neither prime or composite, because it has only one factor (#1#).

However, it is a square, a cube, a 4th power, a 5th power etc.

#1xx1 =1^2 =1 " "rarr sqrt1 =1#

#1xx1xx1 = 1^3 =1" "rarr root3(1) =1#

#1xx1xx1xx1= 1^4 = 1" "rarr root4(1) = 1#
