In last article, we have discussed the method to find cube root of more than 6-digit numbers; especially the odd numbers. Today we shall discuss the procedure for even numbers. In this procedure, only two extra steps are added, one in the beginning and other at the end. Rest all is same.
Procedure: As first added step, we keep on dividing the number by 8 till we get an odd cube. Following it, same method of successive elimination of the digits will apply. At the end, multiply the cube root by 8 to obtain the cube root of the original number.
Example : 2840362499528
First, we continue without using those two additional steps, which will help you to understand the problems arises while dealing with even cubes.
The cube root of the cube 2,840,362,499,528 (say, F + J + H + M + L )
Here, N=5 (means that cube root will be of 5 digits number)
L=2 (i.e. 2³=8, matching with the last digit of the last group '528')
and F=1 (i.e, 1³=1, nearest cube of first group '1')
Step1 : L=2 & L³=8. Subtracting this,
Step2 : 3L2M=12M (substituting L = 2)
Hence, 12M = Number ending with 2
Here M is either '1' or '6' (ambiguous values)
Lets take 6 (pure gamble)
Now, Deducting 3L2M = 12M = 72
Step3 : 3LM2+3L2H = 12H + 216 (substituting L = 2, M = 6)
12H + 216 = Number ending with 8
12H = Number ending with 2
Here H is either '1' or '6'
Lets take 1 (again gamble)
Now, Subtract 3LM2+3L2H = 12H + 216
= 228
Step4 : 3L2J+6LMH+M³ = 12J+12+216
= 12J+228
12J+228 = Number ending with 6
12J = Number ending with 8
Here J is either '4' or '9'
Lets take J = 4
Since we already know 'F' , so no need to know the expansion of (F+J+H+M+L)³
Therefore, cube root is 14162 (F=1, J=4, H=1, M=6, L=2)
In the above example, we see that there are so many ambiguous values like in step 2, 3, 4. To solve this problem, we divide the number by 8.
So,
After first division by 8, if we get the last digit as odd number; we shall consider this number. If last digit is still even, we shall again divide by 8 till the last digit comes out to be an odd number. Remember one more thing, we will multiply the final output by 8 only once and not the number of times we divide it by the number (like, after dividing 3 times '792 994 249 216' by 8, we get '1 548 816 893', an odd number. Then we calculate the cube root of this odd number. Finally we shall multiply the cube root with 8 only once,
output*8 = Final Cube Root)
For, 355,045,312,441
N=4,
L=1 (1³=1)
F=7 (7³=343 < 355)
Step1 : L=1 & L³=1. Subtracting this,
Step2 : 3L2M=3M (substituting L = 1)
3M = Number ending with 4
So M should be 8
Now, Deducting 3L2M = 3M
= 24
Step3 : 3LM2+3L2H = 3H + 192 (substituting L = 1, M = 8)
3H + 192 = Number ending with 2
3H = Number ending with 0
Hence H = 0
Therefore, Cube Root is 7081 (F=7, H=0, M=8, L=1)
The Cube Root of the original number = 7081*8
= 14162
In next article, we shall learn to find the cube root for all cube numbers (whether perfect or not). Thanks for visiting the blog. Please keep sharing the knowledge by posting in 'comments' section.
