Estimation Method
Introduction
 In the estimation method we segregate the
number into groups and then estimate its cube
root. If you know that the given number is a cube
number then the following method can be used.
Step 1
 Take any cube number say 857375 and start
making groups of three digits starting from the
right most digit of the number.
857- Second group 375 - First group
 We can estimate the cube root of a given cube
number through a step-by-step process.
Step 2
 First group ,i.e., 375 will give you one’s (or unit’s)
digit of the required cube root.
 The number 375 ends with 5. We know that 5
comes at the unit's place of a number only when
its cube ends in 5.
 So, we get 5 at the unit’s place of the cube root.
Step 3
 Now take another group,i.e,857.
 We know that 9³ = 729 and 10³= 1000.
Also,729<857<[Link] take the one’s place, of the
smaller number 729 as the ten’s place of the required cube
root.
 So, we get cube root of 857375= 95.
