How to figure roots in Excel?

[Guest]

How can I figure the y root of n for x, such as the power 6 root of 15625,
which is 5 (5^6 = 15625).

LOG(15625,5) = 6 but how do I do it the other way around, using 15625 and 6
to find 5?

One way:

=x^(1/y)

Hi

=x^(1/x)
i.e.
=15625,5^(1/6) does return 5.000027

If you prefer functions:
=POWER(A1, 1/6)
