Root Calculator

A root calculator finds any root of a number, not just square roots. Enter the number and the root you want, so 3 gives you a cube root and 5 a fifth root, and it returns the result. Square roots sit on every calculator but higher roots usually mean juggling fractional exponents, which this does for you. It handles decimals as well as whole numbers.

Whether a whole number is a perfect square, a perfect cube or a perfect power of any exponent, and what the whole-number root is when it is one. The other tab gives the root as a decimal and says nothing about whether it comes out exactly.

A negative number can still be a perfect odd power: -8 is (-2) cubed.
2 for a perfect square, 3 for a perfect cube, and so on up to 40. Every exponent is checked whatever you put here; this one just gets its own line.
