Fifth Roots Calculator
Quickly find the fifth root of any positive or negative number.
Understanding Fifth Roots
The fifth root of a number x is a number r which, when raised to the power of 5, yields x. Because 5 is an odd number, every real number (both positive and negative) has exactly one real fifth root.
Odd Roots and Negatives
Unlike square roots or fourth roots which are undefined for negative numbers in the real number system, odd roots safely preserve the sign. For example, the fifth root of -32 is exactly -2, because (-2) * (-2) * (-2) * (-2) * (-2) = -32.
