A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 531441 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.
In exponential form, ∛531441 is written as 531441(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 531441, then y3 can be 531441. The cube root of 531441 is an exact value, which is 81.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 531441. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
Since 531441 is a perfect cube, we use the prime factorization method to find its cube root.
Let's find the cube root of 531441 using the prime factorization method.
First, we find the prime factors of 531441. 531441 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3^12
Since we want the cube root, we divide the power by 3: 3(12/3) = 3^4 = 81
Thus, the cube root of 531441 is 81.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped room that has a total volume of 531441 cubic meters. Find the length of one side of the room equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛531441 = 81 meters
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.
Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 81 meters.
A company manufactures 531441 cubic centimeters of a product. Calculate the amount of product used if 729 cubic centimeters are left.
The amount of product used is 531441 - 729 = 530712 cubic centimeters.
To find the amount of product used, subtract the remaining product from the total product: 531441 - 729 = 530712 cubic centimeters.
A tank holds 531441 cubic meters of water. Another tank holds a volume of 1000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the tanks are combined?
The total volume of the combined tanks is 532441 cubic meters.
Explanation: Let’s add the volume of both tanks: 531441 + 1000 = 532441 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 531441 is multiplied by 3, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
3 × 81 = 243 The cube of 243 = 243^3 = 14348907
When we multiply the cube root of 531441 by 3, it results in a new value of 243.
The cube of this new value is 14348907, showing a significant increase in volume.
Find ∛(1000000 + 531441).
∛(1000000 + 531441) = ∛1531441
As shown in the question ∛(1000000 + 531441), we add them to get 1531441.
The cube root of this sum needs to be calculated separately, as it is not a simple number.
