Cube (algebra) the last two digits, "any" pair of digits with the last digit odd can be a perfect cube. With even cubes, there is considerable restriction, for only 00, 2, 4, 6 and 8 can be the last two digits of a perfect cube (where stands for any odd digit and for any even digit). Some cube numbers are also square numbers; for example, 64 is a square number and a cube number . This happens if and only if the number is a perfect sixth power (in this case 2). The last digits of each 3rd power are: It is,
Cube root the cube root of numbers having many digits in the "Aryabhatiya" (section 2.5). Cube root In mathematics, a cube root of a number "x" is a number "y" such that "y" = "x". All real numbers (except zero) have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted , is 2, because 2 = 8, while the other cube roots of 8 are −1 + "i" and −1 − "i". The three cube roots of −27"i"
