How to calculate cube roots in your head

- Here's how you do cube roots in your head! Avoid looking like Education Secretary Nicky Morgan who was stumped when asked to do a cube root: • Video
Note: the starting number needs to be a perfect cube. So it's more of a magic trick: ask someone to cube a number and then you can deduce their original number quickly.

No problem!
It was very interesting. Thank's you too !
You’re awesome my dude
Thank you
what's hilarious is i started being teached cube roots today and got this in my recommendations
Love how the thumbnail misleads you to think you can just take the first and last digit to get the answer
@Dawson Posekany LoL yes that’s why I clicked the video
I almost skipped the video like just take the first and last digit but no it's not that at all
Me too
Really
Cube root of 8 is 88
“You first have to memorize the cubes of each number from 1 to 10”
nevermind
Mooddd😂😂
thumbnail, can't memorize ten numbers, finishes with NEVER mind. God bless this youth.
729 is the only weird one, really. The rest just make sense.
*forget it* 🤣
@@thedeekabides how 729 weird?
Caution: this works only when you are asked to calculate cube roots of perfect cubes. Don't brag anywhere and fail if someone asks you cube root of 2198 and you say 12 (using this method)
Because I know that actually the cube root of 2197 is 13 so 2198 is 13.0...1
My method: literally memorizing the answer to every problem I’m asked. It comes in handy especially in Calculus
you scare me
You have a power beyond anything we mortals could ever imagine
Yeah lmao I remembered when I memorized that the cube root of 11 is 1331
@@Sartfla I think he meant the cube root of 1331 is 11. Just a small mistake

I hope this doesn't get nerfed
The heard the developers are going to nerf it, sadly.
Mine doesn't work, have I missed an update?
Rayan Rashid in the patch notes a buff is coming at the end of the month
Unfortunately, in version 20.2 (coming January) this trick will be patched, but hopefully there are some bugs in the system that let us still use it
Does it still work after the latest patch?
savage bro
You'll need to check the patch notes bro
@@thepungodThanks, I'll ckeck them.
Why did I laugh so hard at this 😭😭😭
Patch 2019.04 only did bug fixes, so maybe patch 2019.05 will change something.
I'll give you two interesting things I learned on my own. If you add every odd number starting with 1, no matter where you stop, you will have a perfect square. Also, if you wonder if a number, no matter how large it is, is divisible by 4, 8 16, 32, etc. take the last 2 numbers and if they are divisible by 4, the entire number is divisible by 4; take the last 3 number and, if they are divisible by 8, the entire number is divisible by 8, etc. I'm sure I'm not the first person to figure these things out but I was surprised when I learned them.
Also if the last digits are 0, it will be divisible too, like 500 is divisible by 4 because last 2 digits are zeroes, 5000 is divisible by 8 because last 3 digits are zeroes.
You always learn something everyseconds no matter its important or not
its called divisibility criterion
@@user-yx4pb1zk2t I don't know about divisibility criterion. I just found it by accident one day. The square root thing I discovered when I was taking an online IQ test. It gave the following: "16, 25, 36 . . . What is the next number?" I looked and saw 16 + 9 = 25 and 25 + 11 = 36. My response was 49 which was correct but for the wrong reason. It didn't hit me that those numbers were perfect squares. I then followed the rule I came up with and found that it was correct.
that is pretty interesting
I remember doing this technique when taking a test back in highschool, way before I got into string physics and higher dimensions. I believe it was an exam actually, that consisted of 10 cube root equations to be solved via paper and pencil (show your work). I used this technique mentally, only writing down the table because I had to show work somehow. Couple of minutes I’m the first one done and my teacher is in awe. Feels good
sure
You have an exam of just doing cube root equations?
You do not just get into string physics
What did string theory have to do with this lmao
And then everybody clapped.

It’s sad how the secretary of education can’t remember the cube root of 125
Kinda infuriating as a student ;-;
she probably did know but was sticking to her rule of never answer math questions on tv. if she started answering easy questions, she’d eventually start being asked harder questions, and when she refused to do them, people would assume she didn’t know how even if she did.

@@sr.braydondo huh, I'll use this logic for my next exams!! Wish me luck
Jesus said "do not try to remove a spec from thy neighbor's eye when there is a log in your eye"
And these teachers out here like: ( 🌳 _ 🌳 )
Now all I need is another video letting me know how to tell that the number is a perfect cube in the first place so I know when to apply this.
But 125 is easy! 5x5=25 is not hard, and 25x4 is 100 so that helps you remember 25x5 is 125.
That's the only one I could have been able to get right because it is so easy.
@@ammaleslie509 all the smaller numbers are easy but that’s not what I was saying.
If you don’t know that 39304 for example, is a perfect cube then you can’t apply the trick.
@@creaty2852 That's what I was thinking about... Simply relying on this trick will get urself tricked and propose a seemingly correct answer. I suppose the most secure way is to use Taylor's Expansion

I enjoyed your cube roots solving techniques. Great presentation.
I never knew it was so easy after seeing your resolve.
Thank you sir.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Quickly"
i dont know if you should be in a high authoritative position if you can't figure out the cube root of 125 in a reasonable amount of time.
E_M_E_T Eh, dunno about that. You can be good at your job without knowing maths. This kind of knowledge doesn’t defines someone’s intelligence and ability to do their job well. It’s like knowing countries’ capitals; there isn’t really any merit in learning this kind of stuff by heart. Cant judge someone’s intelligence and abilities based on that.
I have never in my entire life liked an educational video before, but this was really helpful so thank you soooooooo much
I used to actually know this trick, although i did it with square roots. I had no clue it could work with cube roots too, except it was slightly more complicated. You had to do a wierd subtraction thing from the first digit and i forgot exactly how to do it but this is way easier and more impressiveThanks!
Other Students:Whats tha need??We have calculators

I wonder they allow students to use calculator in exams 😲😲
Kash india me bhi aisa hota
@@anusangeet1869 in higher education you can use calculators for calculations since the problems are big. Lower grades don't need it coz problems are too simple and most probably you won't come across a cube root of 7 digit number there.

These are quite common vedic tricks in Indian education specially among students preparing for competative exams as we need to be very fast in our calculations. You can look for other tricks too in youtube.
I never had math homework until middle school so fine
This does not in any way help solve any math problems. It is just a neat memorisation trick.
I like math and physics but I realized that I'm really bad at teaching math. Whenever I try to teach my little sister or my friends, they always have trouble understanding. But I am not that bad at teaching (explaining) physics' concepts/theories.

WOW! none of my teachers got me to understand this but u did tysm!!!
In my experience, using Newton's method is usually better, especially if you don't know if it's a perfect cube.
The trick for cube roots with Newton's method is to make a guess (I usually go with powers of 10), then divide your number by the guess twice, add the guess twice, and divide this by 3. This will give you a much closer overestimate.
For 636,056 a good guess would be 100.
After you divide twice you get 63.6(056) (you can round to make it easier to do in your head).
After you add twice you get 263.6.
Divide by 3 to get 87.8.
Since this is an overestimate, round down to get 87, which is only one off. (If you repeat again you'll get 86.)
The same trick works for square roots and other roots. For square roots, you divide once, add once, and divide by 2. For 4th roots, you divide 3 times, add 3 times, and divide by 4. etc.
Why this is so underrated
i will surely checkout this method
oh.....i got it....
thanks for helping us in math....

Yup! Now I don't need to look for my TI-83 everyone I get maths homework! Wait..
Okay. The method does not work on everyone

Samuel Papp thabks. I got that
Mind blowing bro... 🔥
Wow, that's a really neat trick! I'm surprised I've never seen it before.
