Nth Root
Find a real nth root with explicit handling of negative inputs.
Your numbers
Real root
Use consistent units. The result follows the assumptions you enter.
Scenario comparison
Up to three snapshots in this tab. Loading one replaces the current inputs.
Formula
Use r = sign(x)abs(x)^(1/n). x is the radicand, n is a positive integer root degree, abs means absolute value, and sign gives the sign of the input. Negative inputs require an odd root degree.

Scope and limitations
Use consistent units. The result follows the assumptions you enter.
Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.
Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
