Squaring a base (raising a number to the power of 2) and taking the square root are similar concepts; in fact, they are opposite operations, which means one is the undoing of the other. If you want to square the number 6, you take 6 × 6 = 36. Now if you want to find what two identical numbers multiply to give you 36, you take the square root of 36. This square root gives the value of 6. It can also be noted that squaring a square root removes the radical.

Likewise, cubing a base (raising a number to the power of 3) will give us a perfect cube. In case you need to calculate the cube root, you can use our cube root calculator, which is an excellent tool that will calculate the cube root of any number.

In modular arithmetic, there are dedicated methods of exponentiation – learn more with the power mod calculator.
