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 1015.
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 1015 can be written as 1015³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1015 × 1015 × 1015.
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 cube 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. 1015³ = 1015 × 1015 × 1015
Step 2: You get 1,045,807,375 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1015 is 1,045,807,375.
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 1015 into two parts. Let a = 1000 and b = 15, so a + b = 1015
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 15
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 15²
b³ = 15³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 15)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 15 + 3 × 1000 × 15² + 15³
1015³ = 1,000,000,000 + 450,000 + 675,000 + 3,375
1015³ = 1,045,807,375
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1015 is 1,045,807,375.
To find the cube of 1015 using a calculator, input the number 1015 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1015 × 1015 × 1015. This operation calculates the value of 1015³, resulting in 1,045,807,375. 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, 1, and 5
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1015³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1015 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,045,807,375.
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 1015?
The cube of 1015 is 1,045,807,375 and the cube root of 1015 is approximately 10.058.
First, let’s find the cube of 1015.
We know that the 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 1015³ = 1,045,807,375
Next, we must find the cube root of 1015
We know that the 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 ∛1015 ≈ 10.058
Hence the cube of 1015 is 1,045,807,375 and the cube root of 1015 is approximately 10.058.
If the side length of a cube is 1015 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,045,807,375 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1015 for the side length: V = 1015³ = 1,045,807,375 cm³.
How much larger is 1015³ than 1003?
1015³ – 1003 = 30,307,375.
First, find the cube of 1015, which is 1,045,807,375
Next, find the cube of 100, which is 1,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,045,807,375 – 1,000,000 = 30,307,375
Therefore, 1015³ is 30,307,375 larger than 100³.
If a cube with a side length of 1015 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1015 cm is 1,045,807,375 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1015 means multiplying 1015 by itself three times: 1015 × 1015 = 1,030,225, and then 1,030,225 × 1015 = 1,045,807,375.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,045,807,375 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1014.9 using the cube of 1015.
The cube of 1014.9 is approximately 1,045,807,375.
First, identify the cube of 1015, The cube of 1015 is 1015³ = 1,045,807,375.
Since 1014.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1015, the cube of 1014.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1015.
The cube of 1014.9 is approximately 1,045,807,375 because the difference between 1014.9 and 1015 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,045,807,375.
