Best Answer

Yes, there is a method similar to one method for determining square roots.

You can also use logarithms to determine cube roots - more convenient than the algorithm, but still sort of longhand.

Cube root of 5 = 10^(log5/3)

Before calculators this was more of a longhand method since you had to get the logs from a table in your textbook and actually divide by 3 without a calculator.
