The square root undoes squaring: √144 = 12 because 12 × 12 = 144.

Enter a number to find its square root and cube root, plus its square and cube. Square roots of negative numbers aren't real, so those are flagged.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take the square root of a negative number?

Not within the real numbers — no real number multiplied by itself gives a negative result. (Such roots exist among 'imaginary' numbers, which this calculator doesn't cover.) Cube roots of negatives are fine, however: ∛(−27) = −3.
