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 995.
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 multiplying a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 995 can be written as 995³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 995 × 995 × 995.

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the 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. 995³ = 995 × 995 × 995
Step 2: You get 985,074,875 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 995 is 985,074,875.
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 995 into two parts. Let a = 990 and b = 5, so a + b = 995.
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 3: Calculate each term.
a³ = 990³
3a²b = 3 × 990² × 5
3ab² = 3 × 990 × 5²
b³ = 5³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(990 + 5)³ = 990³ + 3 × 990² × 5 + 3 × 990 × 5² + 5³
995³ = 970,299,000 + 14,850,000 + 74,250 + 125
995³ = 985,074,875
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 995 is 985,074,875.
To find the cube of 995 using a calculator, input the number 995 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 995 × 995 × 995. This operation calculates the value of 995³, resulting in 985,074,875. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 9, 9, and 5.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 995³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 995 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 985,074,875.

What is the cube and cube root of 995?
The cube of 995 is 985,074,875 and the cube root of 995 is approximately 9.997.
First, let’s find the cube of 995.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 995³ = 985,074,875.
Next, we must find the cube root of 995.
We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛995 ≈ 9.997.
Hence, the cube of 995 is 985,074,875 and the cube root of 995 is approximately 9.997.
If the side length of the cube is 995 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 985,074,875 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 995 for the side length: V = 995³ = 985,074,875 cm³.
How much larger is 995³ than 990³?
995³ – 990³ = 14,925,875.
First, find the cube of 995³, which is 985,074,875.
Next, find the cube of 990³, which is 970,299,000. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
985,074,875 – 970,299,000 = 14,775,875.
Therefore, 995³ is 14,775,875 larger than 990³.
If a cube with a side length of 995 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 5 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 995 cm is 985,074,875 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 995 means multiplying 995 by itself three times: 995 × 995 = 990,025, and then 990,025 × 995 = 985,074,875.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 985,074,875 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 994.5 using the cube of 995.
The cube of 994.5 is approximately 985,074,875.
First, identify the cube of 995. The cube of 995 is 995³ = 985,074,875.
Since 994.5 is only a tiny bit less than 995, the cube of 994.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 995.
The cube of 994.5 is approximately 985,074,875 because the difference between 994.5 and 995 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 985,074,875.
