D Dave Peterson Oct 18, 2006 #8 A square root of a number is that number that you multipy by itself (used twice) to get the original number: The positive square root of 64 is 8 because 8*8=64. The cube root of a number is the number that is multiplied by itself 3 times gives the original number. the cube root of 27 is 3 because 3*3*3=27
