Aug 21, 2017 at 11:53 comment added Paddy Landau If you have a simple calculator that will give you a square root (this isn't exactly what you ask, which is why I don't post it as an answer), there is a simple method to approximate $\sqrt[R]{n}$. See my related question, which gives an easy method.

Oct 24, 2013 at 19:29 comment added newzad @CodyPiersall yes exactly. but I don't say no for iterative solutions. You understand me.
Oct 24, 2013 at 19:25 comment added Cody Piersall Are you looking for algorithms that aren't iterative?
