Square and Cube roots. - jarrod0987 - Apr-13-2018 What is an easy way to get the square or cube root of a number and not get the part after the decimal? I just want the whole number or maybe the whole number and a remainder. No decimals. Is that possible? Thanks RE: Square and Cube roots. - nilamo - Apr-13-2018 Use int() to ignore the non-integer values:>>> x = 9.4392 >>> x 9.4392 >>> int(x) 9 >>> y = 3.8743 >>> y 3.8743 >>> int(y) 3To get a root, use a fraction as an exponent. The square root of 9 is 3. 3 squared is 9. 3**2 is 9. 9**(1/2) is 3. The cube root of 27 is 3. 3 cubed is 27. 3**3 is 27. 27**(1/3) is 3. RE: Square and Cube roots. - casevh - Apr-13-2018 If you are willing to install an external library, or are working with large integer numbers, you should look at gmpy2 >>> import gmpy2 >>> gmpy2.iroot_rem(128,3) (mpz(5), mpz(3)) iroot_rem(x,N) returns the integer part of the N-th of x and the remainder.
