Root Calculator FAQs

Can I calculate roots of negative numbers?

Yes, but only odd roots (like cube roots) of negative numbers are real numbers. Even roots (like square roots) of negative numbers are complex numbers and will show as "Error" in this calculator.

How precise are the calculations?

Our calculator uses JavaScript's built-in Math functions which provide precision up to 15-17 decimal places.

What's the difference between square root and nth root?

Square root is a specific case of nth root where n=2. Nth root allows you to calculate any root (like cube root where n=3, fourth root where n=4, etc.).

Can I calculate roots of decimal numbers?

Yes, the calculator handles both whole numbers and decimal numbers for all root calculations.
