Square Root Calculator and nth Root Finder

Calculate square roots, cube roots, or any nth root of a number

How It Works

This calculator finds the root of any number. For square roots, it also shows the result in simplified radical form when possible.

  • Square root (√x): Find what number multiplied by itself equals x
  • Cube root (∛x): Find what number multiplied by itself three times equals x
  • nth root: Find what number raised to the power n equals x

Example: √8 = 2√2 ≈ 2.828

What is a Square Root Calculator?

A square root calculator finds the value that squares to your number.

This square root calculator also works for cube roots and any nth root.

It handles whole numbers and decimals with ease.

Odd roots of negative numbers work as well.

The tool shows clear results with familiar math symbols.

How It Works

Type a number.

Pick the root type.

Choose Square Root or Cube Root or Custom.
