[Set 421,875 on Mr. Cube root]Zoom

[Japanese]

We start the actual solutions to calculate Cube root using abacus. The calculation becomes more complicated but interesting.

Today's example is simple - basic Triple-root method, root is 2-digits case and 1st root is greater than or equal to 4.. Please check the Theory page for your reference.

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.
