When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 1291.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times.
When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative.
This is because a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 1291 can be written as 1291³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1291 × 1291 × 1291.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator.
These three methods will help kids to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers. -

The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition.
It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 1291³ = 1291 × 1291 × 1291
Step 2: You get 2,149,327,671 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 1291 is 2,149,327,671.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number.
The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 1291 into two parts, as 1200 and 91. Let a = 1200 and b = 91, so a + b = 1291
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1200³ 3a²b = 3 × 1200² × 91 3ab² = 3 × 1200 × 91² b³ = 91³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1200 + 91)³ = 1200³ + 3 × 1200² × 91 + 3 × 1200 × 91² + 91³ 1291³ = 1,728,000,000 + 393,120,000 + 29,673,000 + 753,571 1291³ = 2,149,327,671
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1291 is 2,149,327,671.
To find the cube of 1291 using a calculator, input the number 1291 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1291 × 1291 × 1291.
This operation calculates the value of 1291³, resulting in 2,149,327,671. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 2, 9, and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1291³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1291 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,149,327,671.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd.
The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
There are some typical errors that kids might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that kids might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 1291?
The cube of 1291 is 2,149,327,671 and the cube root of 1291 is approximately 10.801.
First, let’s find the cube of 1291. We know that cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number So, we get 1291³ = 2,149,327,671
Next, we must find the cube root of 1291. We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√1291 ≈ 10.801 Hence the cube of 1291 is 2,149,327,671 and the cube root of 1291 is approximately 10.801.
If the side length of a cube is 1291 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,149,327,671 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1291 for the side length: V = 1291³ = 2,149,327,671 cm³.
How much larger is 1291³ than 1200³?
1291³ – 1200³ = 421,327,671.
First find the cube of 1291³, that is 2,149,327,671
Next, find the cube of 1200³, which is 1,728,000,000 Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,149,327,671 – 1,728,000,000 = 421,327,671
Therefore, 1291³ is 421,327,671 larger than 1200³.
If a cube with a side length of 1291 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 500 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1291 cm is 2,149,327,671 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1291 means multiplying 1291 by itself three times: 1291 × 1291 = 1,665,481, and then 1,665,481 × 1291 = 2,149,327,671.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,149,327,671 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1290 using the cube of 1291.
The cube of 1290 is approximately 2,149,327,671.
First, identify the cube of 1291, The cube of 1291 is 1291³ = 2,149,327,671.
Since 1290 is only slightly less than 1291, the cube of 1290 will be very close to the cube of 1291.
The cube of 1290 is approximately 2,149,327,671 because the difference between 1290 and 1291 is minimal. So, we can approximate the value as 2,149,327,671.
