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 the cube of 181.
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 multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 181 can be written as 181³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 181 × 181 × 181.
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.
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. 181³ = 181 × 181 × 181
Step 2: You get 5,918,341 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 181 is 5,918,341.
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 181 into two parts, as 180 and 1.
Let a = 180 and b = 1, so a + b = 181
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 180³
3a²b = 3 × 180² × 1
3ab² = 3 × 180 × 1²
b³ = 1³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(180 + 1)³ = 180³ + 3 × 180² × 1 + 3 × 180 × 1² + 1³
181³ = 5,832,000 + 97,200 + 540 + 1
181³ = 5,918,341
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 181 is 5,918,341.
To find the cube of 181 using a calculator, input the number 181 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 181 × 181 × 181. This operation calculates the value of 181³, resulting in 5,918,341. 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 8 and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 181³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 181 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 5,918,341.
