Math Utilities

Nth Root

Calculate the nth root of any number with precision guaranteed by server-side computation. Available via MCP in AI coding tools like Cursor and Windsurf, or REST API at `/v1/math/nth-root`. For example, the 3rd root of 27 returns exactly 3.0. Essential for mathematical calculations where floating-point precision matters.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/math/nth-root

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/nth-root" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/nth-root', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/nth-root',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

How do I calculate nth root using MCP in Cursor or Claude Code?

Use the nth-root tool directly in your AI assistant. Specify the number and the root index (n). The MCP tool handles the calculation server-side for precise results.

What's the difference between nth root and using Math.pow() in JavaScript?

TinyFn's nth root uses server-side precision arithmetic, avoiding JavaScript's floating-point quirks. Math.pow(27, 1/3) might return 2.9999999999999996, while nth root returns exactly 3.0.

Can I calculate negative numbers and fractional roots?

Yes, negative numbers work for odd roots (like cube root of -8 = -2). Fractional roots are supported. Even roots of negative numbers return complex number representations.

What's the REST API format for nth root calculations?

GET `/v1/math/nth-root` with query parameters for the number and root index. Returns JSON with the calculated result and metadata about the operation.

How precise are the nth root calculations?

Server-side arbitrary precision arithmetic ensures mathematically correct results. No floating-point approximations or rounding errors that plague client-side calculations.
