Same guy also calculated the 23rd root of a 200 digit number in 40.83 seconds.

I know who to calculate the square root of a number.. how do you calculate the nth root of a number? I am not sure if this was covered in high school math, and if it was, I don't remember.

Does this look right for all you math wizards out there:

Log(large_number_here) / nth_number
ie:
large_number = 20,000,000,000,000
nth_number = 13

Log(20,000,000,000,000)/13
Feel as though something is missing..
