Square root & Cube root
[Japanese]
This is beginning of articles about how to solve Cube root. Today is the theory of Triple-root method. (Sankon method)
Cube root methods: Triple-root method, constant number method, 3a^2 method, 1/3-division method, 1/3-multiplication table method, 1/3-multiplication table alternative method, Multiplication-Subtraction method, 3-root^2 method, Mixing method, Exceed number method, Omission Method, etc.
"1st group number" is the left most numbers in the 3-digits groups of the given number for cube root calculation. Number of groups is the number of digits of the Cube root.
157,464 -> (157|464): 157 is the 1st group number. The root digits 2.
20,346,417 -> (20|346|417) : 20 is the 1st group number. The root digits is 3.
Cube root of 20,346,417 is 273. We call 1st root=2, 2nd root=7, 3rd root=3.
Case 1) Root is 2-digits
1st root=a, 2nd root=b, then C (Cube) is given by following formula.

Step 2) Divide by 3x of the 1st root.
Divide remainder by 3x(1st root). This is why we call the calculation as "Triple-root method".
