Excel has no built-in function to calculatethenth root of a number. To calculate the nth root ofanumber, simply raise that number to the power of 1/n. 6.Forexample, 5 * 5 * 5 or 5^3 is 5 raised to thethirdpower.
Consequently, how do you find the nth root of a number in Excel?
Software
- Calculate a square root. The syntax for the SQRT() functionis:=SQRT(number)
- Calculate an nth root. Use the POWER() function to calculateanyroot value: =POWER(number,(1/n))
- Calculate roots of imaginary numbers. Excel offers theIMSQRT()and IMPOWER() functions to return roots and powers ofimaginarynumbers.
- SQRT(number)
- =SQRT(A1)
- =SQRT(ABS(A1))
- POWER(number, power)
- =POWER(A1,1/2)
- =A1^(1/2)
- =Number.Sqrt([Numbers])
- √General.
Consequently, how do you square a number in Excel?
Square a number
- Click inside a cell on your worksheet.
- Type =N^2 into the cell, where N is the number you wanttosquare. For example, to insert the square of 5 into cell A1,type=5^2 into the cell.
- Press Enter to see the result. Tip: You can also clickintoanother cell to see the squared result.
The sixth root of a number is the numberthatwould have to be multiplied by itself 6 times to get theoriginalnumber. For example, the sixth root of 729 is 3 as 3x 3 x 3x 3 x 3 x 3 is 729. The sixth root of 4,096 is 4, as4 x 4 x4 x 4 x 4 x 4 is 4,096.
