When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 796.
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 multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 796 can be written as 796³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 796 × 796 × 796.
To check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help individuals 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 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. 796³ = 796 × 796 × 796
Step 2: You get 504,299,936 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 796 is 504,299,936.
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 796 into two parts, such as 700 and 96. Let a = 700 and b = 96, so a + b = 796
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 700³
3a²b = 3 × 700² × 96
3ab² = 3 × 700 × 96²
b³ = 96³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(700 + 96)³ = 700³ + 3 × 700² × 96 + 3 × 700 × 96² + 96³
796³ = 343,000,000 + 141,120,000 + 19,353,600 + 884,736
796³ = 504,299,936
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 796 is 504,299,936.
To find the cube of 796 using a calculator, input the number 796 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 796 × 796 × 796. This operation calculates the value of 796³, resulting in 504,299,936. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Input 796
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 796³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 796 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 504,299,936.
There are some typical errors that individuals might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 796?
The cube of 796 is 504,299,936 and the cube root of 796 is approximately 9.283.
First, let’s find the cube of 796.
We know that the cube of a number is calculated as x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 796³ = 504,299,936.
Next, we must find the cube root of 796.
The cube root of a number ‘x’ is calculated as ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛796 ≈ 9.283.
Hence, the cube of 796 is 504,299,936 and the cube root of 796 is approximately 9.283.
If the side length of the cube is 796 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 504,299,936 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 796 for the side length: V = 796³ = 504,299,936 cm³.
How much larger is 796³ than 400³?
796³ – 400³ = 496,299,936.
First find the cube of 796, which is 504,299,936.
Next, find the cube of 400, which is 64,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 504,299,936 – 64,000,000 = 440,299,936.
Therefore, 796³ is 440,299,936 larger than 400³.
If a cube with a side length of 796 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 796 cm is 504,299,936 cm³.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 796 means multiplying 796 by itself three times: 796 × 796 = 633,616, and then 633,616 × 796 = 504,299,936.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 504,299,936 cm³.
Estimate the cube 795.9 using the cube of 796.
The cube of 795.9 is approximately 504,299,936.
First, identify the cube of 796.
The cube of 796 is 796³ = 504,299,936.
Since 795.9 is only a tiny bit less than 796, the cube of 795.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 796.
The cube of 795.9 is approximately 504,299,936 because the difference between 795.9 and 796 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 504,299,936.
