OpenOffice Calc: Calculate third root

With OpenOffice Calc you can pull the second, third or nth root of a number. We show you how it works.

OpenOffice Calc: Write root as a power

No matter whether second, third, tenth, nth root - in OpenOffice Calc you can draw it using a simple mathematical connection:

1. The nth root of an expression corresponds to the expression with the inverse of n as the exponent.
2. For example, ¾√7 = 7 ^ (4/3).
3. For example, enter "= 127 ^ (1/3)" to take the third root out of 127. "= 127 ^ (1/7)" thus corresponds to the seventh root of 127.
4. The exponent must be in brackets.
5. When pulling the roots, make sure that the cell is formatted as a "number" or "currency". With a right click on the cell and "Format cells ..." you can set this under the tab "Numbers".
