Simplify Cube Root of 1216

Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify the cube root of 1216. Before we continue, note that the cube root of 1216 can be written as follows:

∛1216

The ∛ symbol is called the radical sign. To simplify the cube root of 1216 means to get the simplest radical form of ∛1216.

Step 1: List Factors
We start by listing the factors of 1216 like so:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 64, 76, 152, 304, 608, and 1216

Step 2: Find Perfect Cubes
Next, we identify the perfect cubes* from the list of factors above:

1, 8, and 64

Step 3: Find the number to go inside the radical
From the list of perfect cubes, you see that 64 is the largest perfect cube. Now, divide 1216 by the largest perfect cube to find the number that will go inside the radical.

1216 / 64 = 19

Step 4: Find the number to go outside the radical
To find the number that will go outside the radical, we simply calculate the cube root of the largest perfect cube:

∛64 = 4

Step 5: Get the answer
Put Steps 3 and 4 together to get the cube root of 1216 in its simplest radical form. You put the result from Step 3 inside the radical and the result from Step 4 outside the radical:

4∛19
