To make even multiples of 3 figures requires the addition of 00; we have
then 200, the cube root of which is found to be about 5·85. Then, since
the first divisional group consists of 0s, one 0 will follow the decimal
point, giving ∛(0·0002) = 0·0585 [0·05848].
_Cube Root (Inverted Slide Method)._—Another method of extracting the
cube root involves the use of the inverted slide. Several methods are
used, but the following is to be preferred:—_Set the_ L.H. _or_ R.H.
_index of the slide to the number on A, and the number on ᗺ (i.e., B
inverted), which coincides with the same number on D, is the required
root._
Setting the slide as directed, and using first the L.H. index of the
slide and then the R.H. index, it is always possible to find _three_
pairs of coincident values. To determine which of the three is the
required result is best shown by an example.
