To find the cube root of 512, you can use a calculator that has a cube root function. However, if you don't have access to a calculator or want to understand the process, you can find the cube root manually.

To manually find the cube root of a number, you can use a method called prime factorization. Here's how you can do it for 512:

1. Decompose 512 into its prime factors: 512 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^9

2. Group the prime factors in sets of three: 2^9 can be grouped as (2^3)^3

3. The cube root of 512 is equal to the product of the cubed root of each group: cube root of (2^3)^3

cube root of 2^3 = 2

4. Simplify the expression: cube root of (2^3)^3 = 2^3 = 8

Therefore, the cube root of 512 is 8.
