Wouldn’t it be cool if you were able to quickly calculate cube roots as 2-digit integers (the cube roots of perfect cubes of all 2-digit integers) in your head? If you are a math enthusiast, such a neat little trick would be right up your alley.

Cube roots are typically considered complex calculations. They are normally not suited for mental calculations. Yet, most recently, I stumbled upon a very old algorithm that enables quick mental computations of cube roots.

The best part is that this trick makes you look like a math wizard without actually having to be one. I am yet to come across any person in my life who has pulled this off.

Without any further ado, let’s get started with it.

How to Compute Cube Roots As 2-Digit Integers

The First Two Steps

The first step that you’ll need to do is the hard part. But it is a one-time effort, and in my opinion, well worth it. You will have to memorize the cubes of the first ten integers starting from 1 up to 10.
