Math.cbrt()

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It's been available across browsers since July 2015.

The Math.cbrt() static method returns the cube root of a number. That is

\mathtt{\operatorname{Math.cbrt}(x)} = \sqrt[3]{x} = \text{the unique } y \text{ such that } y^3 = x

Try it

console.log(Math.cbrt(-1));
// Expected output: -1

console.log(Math.cbrt(1));
// Expected output: 1

console.log(Math.cbrt(Infinity));
// Expected output: Infinity

console.log(Math.cbrt(64));
// Expected output: 4

Syntax

Math.cbrt(x)

Parameters

x: A number.

Return value

The cube root of x.

Description

Because cbrt() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.cbrt(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).

Examples

Using Math.cbrt()

Math.cbrt(-Infinity); // -Infinity
Math.cbrt(-1); // -1
Math.cbrt(-0); // -0
Math.cbrt(0); // 0
Math.cbrt(1); // 1
Math.cbrt(2); // 1.2599210498948732
Math.cbrt(Infinity); // Infinity
