When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 1003.
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 1003 can be written as 1003³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1003 × 1003 × 1003.
In order 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 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. 1003³ = 1003 × 1003 × 1003
Step 2: You get 1,009,027,027 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1003 is 1,009,027,027.
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 1003 into two parts. Let a = 1000 and b = 3, so a + b = 1003
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 3
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 3²
b³ = 3³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 3)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 3 + 3 × 1000 × 3² + 3³
1003³ = 1,000,000,000 + 9,000,000 + 27,000 + 27
1003³ = 1,009,027,027
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1003 is 1,009,027,027.
To find the cube of 1003 using a calculator, input the number 1003 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1003 × 1003 × 1003. This operation calculates the value of 1003³, resulting in 1,009,027,027. 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 0, 0, and 3
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1003³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1003 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,009,027,027.
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 1003?
The cube of 1003 is 1,009,027,027 and the cube root of 1003 is approximately 10.003.
First, let’s find the cube of 1003.
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 1003³ = 1,009,027,027
Next, we must find the cube root of 1003
We know that the 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√1003 ≈ 10.003
Hence the cube of 1003 is 1,009,027,027 and the cube root of 1003 is approximately 10.003.
If the side length of the cube is 1003 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,009,027,027 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1003 for the side length: V = 1003³ = 1,009,027,027 cm³.
How much larger is 1003³ than 1000³?
1003³ – 1000³ = 27,027.
First, find the cube of 1003, which is 1,009,027,027
Next, find the cube of 1000, which is 1,000,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,009,027,027 – 1,000,000,000 = 27,027
Therefore, the 1003³ is 27,027 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1003 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 10 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1003 cm is 1,009,027,027 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1003 means multiplying 1003 by itself three times: 1003 × 1003 = 1,006,009, and then 1,006,009 × 1003 = 1,009,027,027.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,009,027,027 cm³.
Estimate the cube 1002.9 using the cube 1003.
The cube of 1002.9 is approximately 1,009,027,027.
First, identify the cube of 1003, The cube of 1003 is 1003³ = 1,009,027,027.
Since 1002.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1003, the cube of 1002.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1003.
The cube of 1002.9 is approximately 1,009,027,027 because the difference between 1002.9 and 1003 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,009,027,027.
