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 140608 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, ∛140608 is written as 140608(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 140608, then y3 can be 140608. Since the cube root of 140608 is an exact value, we can write it as 52.
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 140608. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
Since 140608 is a perfect cube, we can use the prime factorization method to find its cube root.
Let's find the cube root of 140608 using the prime factorization method.
Step 1: Find the prime factorization of 140608. 140608 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 214
Step 2: Group the factors in triples since we are finding the cube root. 214 = (24) × (24) × (24) × (22)
Step 3: Take one factor from each group. Cube root = 2^4 = 16
Hence, the cube root of 140608 is 52.
Imagine you have a cube-shaped box that has a total volume of 140608 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
A company manufactures 140608 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 50000 cubic meters.
A bottle holds 52 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 88 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?
When the cube root of 140608 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
