Calculating the n-th root of a number - Question! - Interesting pattern - 23

How to calculate (217)^ 1/1025 -  217 to the power 1/1025

Well, everyone has a mobile or a PC which will do this but the intent is not to see how quickly a machine can calculate - rather what's the logic which we humans can use to do this calculation

I am opening this up as a question for others to share their view and then I will share some details as to how we can go about this

Clue: Start off with smaller numbers like 2nd, 3rd and 5th root :)
