Simplify Cube Root of 2

Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify the cube root of 2. Before we continue, note that the cube root of 2 can be written as follows:

∛2

The ∛ symbol is called the radical sign. To simplify the cube root of 2 means to get the simplest radical form of ∛2.

We start by listing the factors of 2 like so:

1 and 2

Next, we identify the perfect cubes* from the list of factors above:

1

Since 1 is the only perfect cube above, the cube root of 2 cannot be simplified.

Although we cannot simplify the cube root of 2, we did enter the cube root of 2 into our calculator and got the following answer to the cube root of 2 in decimal form:

∛2 ≈ 1.2599
