Well that's rounding for you, and rounding is tricky. Let's say I want the cube root of 7.997600239992. That is approximately 1.998. Rounding that as 2 would be an error. So then we start to require rules like: Do not round to a whole number if the number the root is extracted from is a decimal, etc., etc., etc.. I'm not sure who wrote the bible on rounding exceptions, but I'm not interested in becoming a disciple.
