Cube of 282
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 cubes of 282.
Cube of 282
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 282 can be written as 282³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 282 × 282 × 282.
How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 282
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.
- By Multiplication Method
- Using a Formula

By Multiplication Method
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. 282³ = 282 × 282 × 282
Step 2: You get 22,388,088 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 282 is 22,388,088.
Using a Formula (a³)
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 282 into two parts. Let a = 280 and b = 2, so a + b = 282
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 280³ 3a²b = 3 × 280² × 2 3ab² = 3 × 280 × 2² b³ = 2³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (280 + 2)³ = 280³ + 3 × 280² × 2 + 3 × 280 × 2² + 2³ 282³ = 21,952,000 + 470,400 + 3,360 + 8 282³ = 22,388,088
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 282 is 22,388,088.
Using a Calculator
To find the cube of 282 using a calculator, input the number 282 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 282 × 282 × 282. This operation calculates the value of 282³, resulting in 22,388,088. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 2 followed by 8 and 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 282³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 282 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 22,388,088.
Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 282
- 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.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Cube of 282
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:
Mistake 1
Incorrect Multiplication
Kids might multiply the numbers only twice. That is, 282 × 282 and not 282 × 282 × 282. Always remember that 282³ = 282 × 282 × 282.
Solved Examples on Cube of 282
Problem 1
What is the cube and cube root of 282?
The cube of 282 is 22,388,088 and the cube root of 282 is approximately 6.621.
Explanation
First, let’s find the cube of 282.
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 282³ = 22,388,088 Next, we must find the cube root of 282
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y
Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛282 ≈ 6.621
Hence the cube of 282 is 22,388,088 and the cube root of 282 is approximately 6.621.
Problem 2
If the side length of the cube is 282 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 22,388,088 cm³.
Explanation
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 282 for the side length: V = 282³ = 22,388,088 cm³.
Problem 3
How much larger is 282³ than 172³?
282³ – 172³ = 17,587,216.
Explanation
First find the cube of 282³, that is 22,388,088
Next, find the cube of 172³, which is 4,800,872
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 22,388,088 – 4,800,872 = 17,587,216
Therefore, the 282³ is 17,587,216 larger than 172³.
Problem 4
If a cube with a side length of 282 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 282 cm is 22,388,088 cm³.
Explanation
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 282 means multiplying 282 by itself three times: 282 × 282 = 79,524, and then 79,524 × 282 = 22,388,088.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 22,388,088 cm³.
Problem 5
Estimate the cube of 281.9 using the cube of 282.
The cube of 281.9 is approximately 22,388,088.
Explanation
First, identify the cube of 282,
The cube of 282 is 282³ = 22,388,088.
Since 281.9 is only a tiny bit less than 282, the cube of 281.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 282.
The cube of 281.9 is approximately 22,388,088 because the difference between 281.9 and 282 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 22,388,088.
